We are delighted to announce that our newly updated Designer Metals Collection successfully launched July 15! Look at our design process through our YouTube videos and you will see no detail left unnoticed. We start on paper and take from our extensive research to create bold lines and unique textures. We play with combining different materials to evoke visual interest. Pair that with our striking finishes in polished, brushed and matte textures and you get sophisticated styles crafted with care.
All marketing assets are now available from your Kirsch Distributor! Marketing materials including sample portfolios, sample swatch loops, brochures, display boards for the 1 3/8" collection and display boards for the new 1" collection are available to order now. We hope you enjoy the new collection as much as we enjoyed creating it.
