Product DNA
The Shirasu Wall is mainly made from “Shirasu” of Shirasu plateau, which is deposited in southern Kyushu, Japan. Shirasu wall was developed in 1999 as a 100% natural wall material that does not contain any sick-house-causing chemical substances and also has humidity control, deodorizing functions etc.
Shirasu wall has been acknowledged as a functional construction material not only in Japan but in the world and has been patented overseas.
In Japan, in addition to its deodorizing and humidity control functions, Shirasu wall is also highly rated for its design. Shirasu wall has been awarded the Good Design Award, and furthermore awarded the 1st prize of interior and 2nd prize of exterior materials in the architect’s choice by the authoritative architecture magazine “Kenchiku Chishiki”. The “Shirasu Palette” introduced here is a new type of interior wall material, which can be attached and detached by anyone, instead of the conventional Shirasu wall created by experienced plasterers.
