The Babakan Urban Coco Tile is part of Kirei’s warm-hued Java Collection. Each one of these concave, semi-gloss tiles is unique; when combined, they make any surface appear to be a work of art.

Kirei has brought typical natural materials, such as bamboo, wheatboard, and hemp, to the sustainable marketplace since 2003, but its new line of tiles made from reclaimed coconut shells might be one of its most innovative offerings yet. The new Coco Tiles have low- or no-VOC adhesives and finishes, and they come in 12 different styles that are versatile enough to be used as wall coverings or as part of furniture design. The tiles’ warm hues and woven surface designs will give any space much-needed texture that looks like it just needs to be touched. More importantly, the tiles contribute to LEED credits, and they come in two different collections, both of which appear modern and rustic at the same time, to suit any project.
