Light and sound: 7 acoustic luminaires for a more multi-functional space

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

Abstracta

Spherical cluster lamp Holly is the handiwork of designers Runa Klock and Hallgeir Homstvedt. The Abstracta design’s opal-glass globes are clad in recycled fabric that has been transformed into Soundfelt REC material.

SPARKLE

Feltouch

Designed to address two different needs in the workspace – glare-free, controllable lighting and sound absorption – Sparkle is a multi-purpose PET-felt collection. The series by On/Off Designed by Ali Berkman for Feltouch comprises wall, ceiling and pendant lighting solutions.

IMPACT ACOUSTIC

Bysso

Bysso’s Impact Acoustic lamp combines its Archisonic acoustic material (one sq-m is made from 88 recycled plastic bottles) with Prolicht reflectors. The latter allows the flat-body luminaire to direct light in a highly targeted way, ensuring optimal concentration.

SLICE

Zero Lighting

Zero Lighting’s Slice acoustic lamp takes on a layered look with expressive circular panels. The Halskov & Dalsgaard design is available in two diameters, with the option to select up to four colourful layers.
