DAIKEN Corporation Expands Gravio Edge Offerings

In a bid to keep pace with modern interior design trends, DAIKEN Corporation, headquartered in Osaka, has announced the release of new color patterns for its popular fire-resistant wall material, Gravio Edge. Set to launch on June 23rd, this updated lineup will feature bold new colors, including a trendy black, among other design options. Utilizing the company’s unique eco-friendly material, “DaiLight,” Gravio Edge has been well-received for its sharp shadows and realistic texture, aimed at catering to customers' diverse needs.

Market Trends in Interior Design

Recently, the trend for interior wall finishes has shifted away from traditional wallpaper to more textured treatments, such as stones and tiles, that add character and quality to spaces. This trend is visible not only in residential settings but also in commercial properties like hotels and retail spaces that aspire to create inviting and luxurious atmospheres. To address this demand, DAIKEN has introduced its high-design fire-resistant wall material, Gravio Edge, showcasing a unique 3D embossed texture and striking colors that make it a favorite among interior designers since its initial release in 2018.

Gravio Edge will now offer six designs, with two of the most popular motifs, the “Fulluso,” inspired by flowing stones, and “Brokko,” inspired by sandstone, receiving new colors to enhance versatility. The new palette introduces sophisticated tones such as deep black and gray, which align with contemporary aesthetic preferences, as well as country-style whites to broaden design possibilities.

New Pattern Details

The updated “Fulluso,” characterized by slender pieces mimicking flowing stones, will now feature a black option and a greige, a neutral hue that integrates seamlessly into various interiors. Similarly, the “Brokko,” which showcases a brick pattern based on sandstone, will include a sugar white option, perfect for country-themed designs, along with a popular dark gray variant.
