Gill & Franks (G&F) is delighted to introduce Aves by Pintark at the Surface Design Show 2025, a stunning wall surface that marries natural inspiration with modern craftsmanship. Designed with the hospitality sector in mind, Aves creates immersive environments that captivate guests while embodying sustainability and artistry.
The Story Behind Aves
Inspired by the mesmerizing phenomenon of murmuration—the breathtaking shape-shifting clouds formed by thousands of birds in flight—Aves captures the fluidity, movement, and harmony of nature. Named for the sounds of wingbeats and soft flight calls, murmuration is a symbol of unity and cooperation, themes that Aves brings to life through its intricate craftsmanship.
The design features interlocking, wing-like leather elements shaped and moulded to mimic the motion of birds in flight. These elements, combined with a soft muted colour palette, create an undulating surface with dynamic shadows that shift throughout the day, evoking the ethereal beauty of nature.
Craftsmanship Meets Elegance
Aves exemplifies Pintark’s commitment to artistry and detail:
• Fluid Movement: The organic, wing-inspired elements are arranged to flow seamlessly across surfaces, creating a sense of movement and energy.
• Textural Depth: Hand-stitching and subtle tonal variations add depth and richness, enhancing the surface’s tactile and visual appeal.
• Natural Aesthetic: The design’s muted tones harmonize with hospitality interiors, creating serene and inviting spaces that connect guests with the natural world.
Designed for Hospitality Excellence
Specifically crafted with hospitality interiors in mind, Aves is ideal for spaces that aim to create memorable guest experienc- es. From luxury hotel lobbies to spa retreats, Aves transforms walls into captivating focal points that elevate the atmosphere and engage the senses.
“The Aves collection is an artistic celebration of nature’s beauty and complexity, designed to inspire and enrich the spaces it inhabits,” says Judy Franks, Co-Founder of Gill & Franks. “Its combination of craftsmanship, movement, and natural inspiration makes it a perfect fit for hospitality interiors where first impressions matter.”
