Tuning into the Market: New Acoustics from Kirei and Xorel Artform
By Anne Kulinski


From Brainstorm to Launch, the Carnegie Acoustic Solutions team is constantly thinking about our designers, installers, and end-users to ensure each new product we bring to market is delivering just what they need: Simple specification, easy installation, and beautiful acoustics delivered sustainably. For our second joint acoustics launch with Kirei and Xorel Artform, the Tuned collection, we wanted to show off exactly what these two amazing brands could do together.

No matter the industry vertical, the size of the space, budget, sustainability demands, or branding needs, Kirei and Xorel Artform products deliver the results our star designers and their clients deserve.


Harmonize Your World with Kirei
Kirei’s Tuned Collection introduces five inspiring new products with the same performance, customization, and sustainability you know and trust. The collection couples the aesthetics your clients love with the sound absorbing prowess of PET resulting in unforgettable spaces with just-right acoustics

Customization
Kirei’s collection is fully customizable with over 30 colors and the option to custom print any product with Kirei Ink, our outstanding in-house printing service. We chose to show off the new products in our Pine print over Vanilla panels, but the opportunities are endless for wood grains, stones, florals, Pantone colors, or any other graphic or material that helps create cohesion in your design. We can also customize these new products through size, length, profile, and more depending on the product, to help deliver your client’s perfect space. And we have a team ready to assist!
Made from Recycled Plastic Bottles
As always, Kirei products are all made from 60% recycled post-consumer plastics which means every product they specify diverts plastic bottles from the waste stream. All of the products meet or exceed CDPH standards for VOCs and are Red List Free and Declare Label qualified/certified. They are inherently Class A fire-rated, carry an HPD and EPD, and qualify for LEED and WELL building credits.


Create Acoustic Unity with Xorel Artform
Xorel Artform’s Tuned Collection marries elegant forms and impeccable sound absorption resulting in four captivating products powered by the sensational sustainability of Xorel textiles. Artfully blending acoustic absorption with innovative design, the new products help you deliver spaces your clients want to stay in a little longer.

Powered by Xorel
Xorel Artform fabric-wrapped acoustics are crafted utilizing the legendary performance of Xorel textiles, the safest, most environmentally responsible textile on the market. Cradle to Cradle™ Certified, lab tested, and proven for over 35 years, Xorel has the acoustic transparency to allow sound to easily reach its acoustic substrate, delivering remarkable sound absorption with Materials that Matter™.


An Installer's Dream
We’re obsessed with our installers. We can’t help wanting to make their work as easy and efficient as possible because we know that they are working to deliver your exact design. With the Tuned launch, we explored more press-fit products which resulted in a new in-between cloud, Pizzelle, and an unbelievably simple installation for the Kirei Matrix Grid solution. The team even designed a new Xorel Artform baffle with a PET substrate that allows for ultra slim, uncomplicated Griplock hardware making installation that much faster and more precise.
Continuous Acoustics Innovation, Sustainable Materials
We believe our designers deserve beautiful acoustic options that impress their clients while having the peace of mind that those products are environmentally friendly, sustainably sourced, and thoughtfully developed. With the Tuned collection, we’re delivering you nine incredible new Kirei and Xorel Artform acoustic products to create inspiring, healthy spaces your clients can’t get enough of.
