This new brand’s design-forward surfaces and wall coverings combine aesthetic innovation with durability and sustainability.
Wall design is a core pillar of any good architecture and interior design project, including commercial and hospitality spaces. Freske is a new Canadian brand that curates creative wall surfaces and cladding locally and around the world to create credible and comprehensive collections, offering architects and designers modern inspiration and sustainable solutions.
Officially launched in the fall of 2025, Freske is led by a team of design enthusiasts and material experts. The goal: to help architects and designers elevate their projects with surfaces that blend art and performance.
The brand has five collections: large format flexible stone panels, lightweight wall panels, sculptural designer wall cladding, marble replicas and artistic textile wall coverings. There are over 300 different finishes for the flat wall panels and dimensional cladding, and each is durable, versatile and design-forward. Whether it’s stone, wood, metal or 3D textured, designers have a range of surfaces and finishes to choose from, offering an outlet for creative expression. Plus, these surfaces excel in high-traffic commercial environments, where design impact must meet durability.
Aesthetic and durable walls are one thing, but forward-thinking interior designers and commercial clients also value environmentally friendly materials and sourcing. Freske has the FSC certification from the Forest Stewardship Council, so designers know they are choosing from sustainable options.
It’s this combination of sustainability, durability and innovation that sets apart any hospitality or commercial design project that uses Freske surfaces and finishes. The marble replica stone offers the luxe look of natural stone without the weight, installation complexity or price: perfect for a modern hotel design that seeks to stand out. The 3D textured panels, meanwhile, create an immersive dining atmosphere in an upscale restaurant project.
Freske’s products also work for projects requiring smaller quantities, ideal for luxury condos or boutique residential projects. Freske makes selected profiles available to ensure that intimate, design-driven spaces also have access to the brand’s premium finishes. And for any project requiring distinctive wall solutions, Freske’s team is there to work directly with architects and designers to find the best match that serves form and function.
Freske is a designer’s creative canvas for interior wall siding. Explore the collections at freske.com.
