Next-generation Solution Integrates Acoustic and Lighting Needs

Looking to the future of the built environment, Focal Point has extended its line of acoustic products, leading the way to next-generation solutions for integrated acoustic and lighting needs.

Focal Point’s Acoustic Solutions portfolio was developed to transform interior spaces, in ways that reach beyond typical expectations of lighting or acoustical products. These luminaires and acoustic elements help foster workplace culture by establishing zones for quiet versus collaborative work in a modern office; decrease stress as they reduce ambient noise and create comfortable lighting; or delineate visually inspiring areas, like lobbies, with design-forward pendants.

United visually by a color palette of environmentally friendly PET felt (which draws up to 50 percent of its material from recycled plastic bottles), its collection of luminaires and baffles creates a wealth of design opportunities, allowing designers to choose, coordinate and customize products while maintaining artistic vision. Yet each product also represents the union of technological underpinnings with a beautiful exterior.

By addressing noise pollution and lighting concerns, two pressing issues in modern environments, Focal Point is bringing design and performance together to positively impact spaces for the people who inhabit them.

Its acoustic solutions offer architects and designers a set of customizable products to fit any budget and need. Focal Point has expanded its acoustic offering with the following products:

Blume and Zyl: Blume and Zyl pendants share the wide-ranging PET felt palette featured throughout the Acoustic Solutions portfolio, in shapes that re-interpret nature. Created for visual impact, these pendants allow designers the freedom to choose individual combinations of body and trim colors for a custom look, while integrating with other pieces in the collection. These pieces balance form and function to create design with high performance capabilities.

Nivo Acoustic tiles, an acoustic companion to Nivo architectural troffers: Standard grid or cloud ceilings can take advantage of these integrated ceiling systems that address noise and lighting needs. The Nivo line allows for configurations that vary in height from flush to a 7-inch drop and can be grouped in clusters or used with or without troffers to create textured and patterned ceilings.

TruBlade: Focal Point’s TruBlade, a 9 millimeter acoustic blade, is customizable to 1-inch increments; comes in a range of PET felt colors and used in combination with the Seem 1 Acoustic luminaires, delivers a total ceiling solution. TruBlade puts an integrated system within reach, even for budget-conscious projects.
