As 2025 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on a year that sounded, and looked incredible. From bold new designs and award-winning innovations to a growing focus on sustainability, this year has been all about acoustic solutions that balance performance with beauty.
We’re endlessly grateful to the designers, specifiers and partners who continue to shape how the world hears and experiences space.
To celebrate, we shared The 12 Days of Zintra, a festive countdown that highlights the products, projects and textures that defined our year.
Here’s the full wrap-up, filled with acoustic inspiration to carry into the new year.

Made from 100% recyclable materials, Zintra delivers proven acoustic performance (independently tested with NRC ratings up to 1.0–1.50), low VOC emissions, and a Class A fire rating. Lightweight, easy to install, and digitally printable, it offers endless design possibilities across more than 250 products, making Zintra one purposeful, all-round performing material.
2 Beautiful Surfaces
Walls and ceilings or wall to ceiling, Zintra transforms ordinary surfaces into acoustic art.
