Direct and indirect lighting
Maximum glare reduction
Horizontal luminance
Lumens - >500 lm for office environment
Proper lighting for the intended area
Adaptable with ceiling panel variations
Dimmable feature
Turn able white light features
Motion sensor for more efficiency
Easy installation
Acoustic panels sound absorption
MOODBOARD
Current trend is moving towards soft, fabric, patterns with minimum wood and metals, mostly with matte finish; which is clear from the Stockholm Furniture Fair. Earthy colors are mainly used; not that popped up in the environment.
Research on office spaces reflects the importance of acoustic materials.
IDEATIONS
Final concept is the combination of two concepts having hexagonal pattern with acoustic cloud panels and transparent lighting element when powered off. The possibility of different patterns is one of the main features of this design.
modular pendant light
direct and indirect lighting baffle

FINAL DESIGN
Final design is Hexagonal shaped luminaire; the beauty of which is the hexagonal shape that is formed when the acoustic panels are attached to light element.
Suitable for any space in an office environment. It can be used in work areas, conference rooms, open areas etc.
FEATURES
Based on the research, value added features are included such as adjustable slots and acoustic panels along with direct and indirect lighting.
Adjustable slots are really necessary for office purposes. They mostly have ceiling panels which may vary depending on batch or supplier. This feature makes it easy to
install; even a single worker can fix
it without much help.
