A product checking off one necessity is great, but two-in-one is always better. Providing light while keeping a room acoustically comfortable, these lamp designs fit the multi-functional bill.
FOST BULB
De Vorm
Doubling up as an acoustic and lighting solution, De Vorm’s Fost Bulb is crafted from sound-absorbing PET felt material. The sturdy dome lampshade sports a ribbed pattern and comes in 11 colours, both neutral and bright.
BUZZICHIP
Buzzispace
Characterized by a playful curved design, BuzziSpace’s BuzziChip luminaire has a plush exterior and circular lightbulbs. Three sizes – small, medium and large – suit a variety of areas, from intimate gathering nooks to zones for lively meeting.
KOINÈ ACOUSTIC
Luceplan
Conceived by Mandalaki for Luceplan, the Koinè family of suspension lamps has seen an expansion. The original black lamp is now paired by white, red and blue, as well as a sound-absorbing iteration with a 60 per cent recycled felt cap supported with an aluminium body.
HOLLY
