Kaleido

Made from

Plastic packaging

A vibrant celebration of colour, Kaleido is as bold and unapologetic as its name suggests. This maximalist masterpiece is dotted and dashed with vivid hues, evoking an artist’s palette brought to life. Made from recycled cosmetic bottles, it’s a statement piece in more ways than one – offering a playful nod to its origins with traces of barcodes and labels visible on the surface.

Each Kaleido panel is unique, with no two batches ever exactly alike – a testament to its recycled origins and handcrafted charm. But this iteration won’t last forever. When the current waste stream comes to an end, so too will this version of Kaleido.

Available in thicknesses of 5, 12 and 20mm.

Panel Information

We are a batch manufacturer using craft techniques to make our products. We source a variety of raw materials, and therefore the patterns and colours in our surfaces can vary between batches. If you need to minimise colour variation, please discuss your needs with us before ordering, so we can ensure all your products come from the same batch.

We work hard to ensure our panels are as free from blemishes as possible, but by their nature, no two panels are the same. For us, every quirk, imperfection and mottle tells a different recycling story. Panels are supplied with a single-sided semi-matt finish as standard, and can also be supplied double-sided should your intended application require it. Please specify this when ordering.

Price & Lead Times

Panels are not available for purchase through the website. Please get in touch to enquire about prices and lead times, mentioning the quantity and thickness of panels you require. Smile Plastics’ terms and conditions apply to all sales.
