When designing Cono, the designers aimed to create a unique acoustic pendant that combines soft, playful forms and robust functionality at a cost-effective price point. They combined innovative manufacturing techniques and artisanal upholstery practices, exploring new forms and materials. Initial iterations experimented with playful forms and various finial concepts. The contrasting textural outer wool finish, machined black finial, and smooth white glass diffuser in Cono create a unique and striking luminaire.
Cono’s distinctive look is attributed to its unique black finial, a machined finial with a single side-entry cord that sits atop the pendant. This finial contrasts against the textural wool finish, adding a sculptural element. Cono functions as a contemporary acoustic pendant, seamlessly integrating functional sound absorption and lighting in a striking new form. It serves as a cost-effective and highly effective design tool for architects and interior designers to create happy, healthy spaces.
The playful contrast of Cono’s cone shape, distinctive black finial, and upholstered textural wool finish adds character to any room. It marries sound control and illumination into one multi-purpose product, offering multiple output options, including a glass-diffused ambient light source or E26/E27 lamp holder. The conical shape optimizes acoustic performance, reducing volume in open spaces.
Cono traps sound waves as they travel upwards, thanks to its noise-absorbing materials and conical shape. Placing Cono above the sound source allows it to absorb a significant amount of sound, creating a well-balanced sound experience. It is suitable for focus areas, deep focus zones, quiet rooms, and collaboration spaces inspiring creativity.
Cono signifies a new direction for acoustic lighting, utilizing an innovative thermo-form process to create beautiful shapes while minimizing labor. It responds to the needs of people by supporting wellness design, employee experience, atmospheric health, and sensory environment design. Cono embodies functional design to create healthy, productive workspaces, contributing to workplace enjoyment through considerations such as acoustics, sound stress, and natural light.
Cono is an innovative acoustic pendant designed to foster productive, calming, and comfortable workspaces. It supports employee health and well-being by promoting a comfortable environment that enhances productivity and happiness. The fixture creates a light environment conducive to visual, mental, and biological health while reducing environmental noise and stress. Cono helps create distraction-free, productive, and comfortable indoor environments by reducing sound reverberation and maintaining comfortable sound levels through absorptive materials. Ultimately, Cono contributes to health and well-being by addressing acoustical comfort parameters that shape occupant experiences in the built environment, including comfortable reverberation times that support speech intelligibility and focus.
