Industrial designer Khodi Feiz and his eponymous, Amsterdam-based studio Feiz Design Studio, cofounded with with graphic designer Anneko Feiz-van Dorssen, is fixing two workplace ache factors concurrently with a brand new luminaire designed for Sweden-based acoustics pioneer, Abstracta. Named Vika, the adaptable lighting is predicated on a easy felt wing that may be configured right into a sound-dampening display that doubles as a light-weight sculpture or pendant gentle. Including a heat, subtle glow whereas absorbing noise air pollution inside the surroundings, Vika proves its worth is two-fold for industrial areas.
This undertaking was impressed by the studio’s Noor lamps designed for Cappellini in 2000. Vika’s core is product of recycled PET bottles which have been molded into form and coated with Texfel material. The wing-like part can interlock with an extra one to create a standalone fixture or in multiples to create a sculptural, undulating display. A single wing may be hung horizontally over desks and assembly tables as a pendant gentle. “It’s one other mind-set about sound (absorption) and lightweight, giving presence to 2 intangible qualities,” Feiz shares.
The designer additionally defined that, in contrast to different fixtures suspended farther from the ceiling or acoustic options mounted on partitions, Vika is made to be nearer to you. The designer explains: “A intelligent factor about Vika is that each the ground screens and the ceiling luminaire are designed to be near these within the room who’re its sound sources. This stops sound waves earlier than they will bounce off the partitions and ceiling.” Absorbing each high- and low- frequency sounds whereas casting an ambient glow, Vika turns areas that is likely to be over-stimulating into calm and alluring environments, creating a way of intimacy whereas enhancing productiveness and well-being.
