Kuro Sumi
Named after the traditional Japanese ink, Kuro Sumi holds the depth of black with a quiet trace of navy. It embodies balance and precision, shaped by a disciplined sense of craft. The brushed texture recalls ashwood grain, giving the surface a timeless, composed character.
Under changing light, subtle variations appear, revealing depth and calm authority. Kuro Sumi brings refined strength to kitchens, joinery, and architectural spaces, creating an atmosphere of quiet elegance.

F.A.Q.
HOW MUCH DO I NEED?
Velven wraps are available in two widths — 60 cm and 120 cm. Choosing the size closest to your surface helps reduce joins, preserve the natural flow of the grain, and make installation seamless and efficient.
Allow a gentle margin of around 3 to 5 cm on each side. This extra space gives room to trim, refine, and achieve clean, confident edges. For larger or more detailed projects, a little more overhang can make the process smoother and ensure a professional finish.

How Will It Look in My Space?
Every space carries its own light, rhythm, and character. While we’ve carefully captured each wrap’s true colour, every screen tells it a little differently.
For the most authentic sense of your chosen finish, we recommend ordering an A4 sample and placing it where it will live. Notice how it changes with the day — in the quiet light of morning, the warmth of afternoon, and the softness of evening. It’s the simplest way to see how the surface will breathe within your space.
Sample shipping is complimentary.
Where can I use this?
Velven is designed to adhere to most smooth, non-porous surfaces — walls, cabinetry, furniture, and doors alike. From kitchens to studios, from quiet corners to open living spaces, Velven transforms the familiar with subtle texture and depth.
Wherever it’s applied, Velven invites you to see your surroundings differently — to reimagine what your space can become.
How easy is it to install?
Velven was created with DIYers in mind. Its pressure-sensitive backing allows you to adjust and reposition as you go, giving you the freedom to refine each step without worry.
Every wrap is engineered to the ideal balance — flexible enough to contour around curves and edges, yet strong enough to resist tearing or warping. No special skills required, just a steady hand and a little patience.
Can I remove it later?
- Velven can be removed cleanly from most sealed surfaces. If you’re working on a delicate finish, we recommend testing a small area first.
Is it sustainable?
Most kitchen joinery in Australia is made from MDF or particle board — materials engineered from wood fibres bonded with resins. While strong and versatile, these composites are difficult to recycle.
At the end of their life, most are sent to landfill. The resin content prevents the fibres from being separated and reused, and local recycling options remain limited.
By resurfacing existing cabinetry instead of replacing it, Velven helps extend the life of these materials and reduce the volume of waste that would otherwise end up in landfill.
What tools do I need to install it?
You can begin with tools you already have at home — scissors, a sharp knife, and a sturdy hair dryer. For the best results, use a utility knife, a squeegee, and a heat gun or hair dryer to gently soften the edges as you work.
How do i clean it?
Clean with a soft cloth or sponge using mild soap and water. Avoid harsh abrasives or solvents to preserve the surface’s finish.
