The Tessellate Baffle and Tessellate Pendant are innovative new cylindrical baffles composed of triangular planes. The Tessellate Baffle hangs horizontally to diffuse sound and create a striking ceiling design, while the Tessellate Pendant hangs vertically like a pendant lamp to easily integrate acoustics with lighting, HVACs, and other ceiling products. Designers can create visual artistry with superior acoustic control in large lobbies or grand ballrooms by hanging Tessellate Pendants or Baffles as a focal point in freeform groups, staggered, or a strategic grid of straight lines.
"Today, form and function intertwine, and we’re seeing a fusion of bold geometric forms with high-performance products like acoustics,” says Michael DiTullo, an independent designer and creative director for the Tessellate Collection. "The Tessellate Baffle and Tessellate Pendant are two prominent pieces in our new Tessellate Collection that push this trend forward, seamlessly merging form and function with their iconic design to create an acoustic solution and visual focal point for any space."
While acoustic baffles have often been an afterthought, the Tessellate Baffle and Pendant turn them into a key design element for any space. Tessellate Baffle and Pendant are assembled by hand and feature patent-pending designs composed of triangular planes. This unique triangulation of PET diffuses and dampens sound waves for superior acoustic control while making a statement in any space. Both products are striking and can steal the show in any high-ceiling space or subtly blend into a broader design concept, all while maintaining superior acoustics.
The Tessellate Baffle and Pendant can also be custom printed with Kirei Ink, Kirei’s latest custom design printing service. Deliver endless customization possibilities from the natural beauty of botanicals to subtle or striking stonework. Designers can choose from more than 50 prints across Kirei Ink’s four collections or print their own custom color, pattern, graphic, or material onto the products.
As with all Kirei products, when designers specify Kirei’s Tessellate Baffle or Pendant, they can utilize Carnegie’s Design Services, a complimentary support service with an in-house team of design professionals to help make their acoustic design dreams come true. The team assists designers with the curation of bespoke product selections to meet project design specifications, performance needs, and budget requirements. Design Services provides sample packages tailored to project requirements and expertly executed design layouts and renderings. For projects with demanding acoustic performance requirements, an acoustic consultant is available for consultation.
The Tessellate Baffle and Pendant are a perfect combination of performance and sustainability. Each product is handcrafted from Class A Fire Rated 12mm PET felt panels made from 60% post-consumer recycled PET with numerous environmental certifications, including Declare Label (Red List Free), HPD, and Low-VOC to help projects easily earn LEED and WELL credits. Featuring patent-pending design and cutting-edge assembly techniques, the Tessellate Collection from Kirei transforms recycled PET felt into unique and visually stunning pieces that make a bold statement in any room.
