KI Wall Demonstrates New Solutions at NeoCon 2025

KI Wall attended NeoCon 2025 in Chicago, Ill., last month to showcase its new architectural wall systems and collaborations, according to a news release. Its customizable, design-forward wall solutions are intended to support creativity in work, education, and healthcare environments.

“At KI Wall, we believe walls should do more than simply enclose a space—they should inspire it,” said KI Wall Vice President Ryan Usiak. “NeoCon gives us the opportunity to demonstrate how our solutions flex to support the evolving needs of designers, architects and their clients.”

KI Wall demonstrated its new collaborations with Zahner and Skyline Glass, integrating “expressive materials” into wall and custom interior design spaces. The work with Zahner involves metal surface concepts to add depth, visual detail, and weight to transform wall partitions into distinct features. The partnership with Skyline, meanwhile, adds textile-inspired artwork from Pallas Textiles to architectural glass. The experimental surface demonstrates multimedia design expression in a single, cohesive space.

“These partnerships are about exploring what’s possible,” Usiak said. “We’re showing how KI Wall can serve as a creative platform, not just a product, by working closely with partners to develop one-of-a-kind solutions that reflect each client’s vision.”
