Moon, a globe-shaped acoustic lamp designed by Thomas Bernstrand provides high quality directed lighting with exceptional sound-absorption. Its shape and generous scale allow it to absorb a wide frequency range of ambient noise effectively. “I’ve given a lot of thought to outer space and the Moon – to the kind of vacuum that exists there. A place with light, yet utterly silent,” remarks Bernstrand. In designing Moon, Bernstrand left nothing to chance. Following two years of development work, he worked closely with Abstracta’s product developers to arrive at a lamp whose shape not only produces really good lighting but maximizes acoustic impact. The lamp’s housing consists of two acoustic felt blankets, each with its particular properties. And thanks to clever construction, even the air within the lamp serves as a sound-absorbing material. This results in exceptionally high acoustic performance, very low material consumption – and, thus, a very lightweight sound absorbing lamp.
Aesthetically speaking, Moon is characterized by elegance and perfect execution. “By combining two classic lamp shapes – a globe and a cone hidden within the globe – I was able to create a spherical lamp that offers directed light,” explains Bernstrand. The sound absorbing lamp brings a classic, clean shape to the acoustic lighting segment. The luminaire is recessed in the lamp, creating a comfortable, downward, and glare-free light. Moon is available with or without the light function in several colorways. The sound-absorbent core of Moon is produced with recycled PET, and the soft outer covering produced with polyester felt.
