Aurora, Colorado, USA
Designed by Cooper Lighting and FilzFelt, together with designers Sohana Arni, Roger Wall, Alex Ross, and Joe Carere, the new decorative collection of Shaper Sense™ Drum fixtures is designed to invoke the human senses of sight, hearing, and touch.
The Sharper Sense Drum Collection won a 2020 Good Design Award from The Chicago Athenaeum.
The two companies have launched Four Drum models in addition to the Shaper Sense Box and Trapezoid.
The drum has a distribution of 55% uplight and 45% downlight, light levels ranging from 3200 to 8200 and easy integration with the Wavelinx controls system.
The office space design has been ever-evolving, from the days of isolated cubicle spaces to the modern open office and even further with a mix-use of both private and open space design.
With the ever-evolving office design, the use of acoustic lighting products has been on the rise integrating two systems, lighting, and acoustics, into one comprehensive form.
The products help mitigate noise by absorbing and blocking sound, while lowering reverberation in a space.
In partnership with industry-leading acoustic and natural materials company, FilzFelt™, the circular edge-lit luminaires are an ensemble of integrated, edge-lit LED lighting fixtures, and circular acoustic surrounds using 100% biodegradable wool design felt available in 66 felt colors.
This means designers can use coordinating wall treatments with their unique patterns like Ribsy and Index Dimensional.
Besides the great material choices, the Sense series offers shapes that are unique to the market.
The light engine is comprised of square or round edge-lit acrylic panels which allow natural daylight to filter through when not in use.
This combination generates a collection of high artistic appeal, visual performance, and effective quality acoustics.
The simple shape of the Shaper Sense Drum series introduces four styles of product, DUO Drum (2 felt color choices), TRIO Drum (3 felt color choices) plus 20 FilzFelt hanging pattern options, including the new Erwin Hauer designs.
The Index Dimensional Drum and Ribsy Drum are hand-crafted felt designs applied to cork and acoustic substrate, created by the artist group sub material for FilzFelt and Shaper Sense.
These four styles provide over 5.7 million color/texture combinations making it the right fit for any space.
Shaper Sense Acoustic Drum works well for so many different applications, including open office and co-working spaces, healthcare, dining and hospitality.
