PM -
At Kiwa Salon East + RounGe (201 E 23rd
Street @ 3rd Ave, 2nd Floor)
The event is FREE, with light
refreshments, wine and music
We are gathering NYC architects to
the KIWA Salon East + RounGe NYC to experience plastering a wall using a super
ecological Japanese plaster, Takachiho Shirasu. This
plaster is made from 100% natural materials including Shirasu, a volcanic soil
derived from magma. Interestingly, this
plaster has been proven to purify the air and remove odor, as well as control
humidity!
Please come join us to see it with
your own eyes, feel it with your own hands!

with all architects in NYC. Their past

NY and IPPOx365.
