LightArt, a renowned leader in innovative lighting solutions, is proud to announce the launch of their Acoustic Collection Wood Textures, encompassing the first patterns available across the company’s robust collection of acoustic fixtures. Inspired by biophilic design, the release captures the natural elegance of wood in four patterns: Iron Oak, Carmel Oak, Walnut, and Rich Bamboo.

The wood patterns are printed on the Sola Felt material available across LightArt’s acoustic offerings, utilizing water-based ink and a high-resolution printer to achieve remarkable detail. Three of LightArt’s 22 standard Sola Felt colors—Dune, Driftwood, and Nickel—serve as bases for the patterns, offering a range of wood tonalities. Designers can specify the new patterns across LightArt’s entire Acoustic Collection, including Static, Static Links, Stratta, Baffles, Echo, Empire Shade, Cube Shade, Trapezoid Shade, Cylinder Shade, Trellis, and Wing.

Edwin Vice, LightArt’s Director of Research and Development, commented on the launch: "We’re excited to expand our acoustic offerings by incorporating this new printing technology. When combined with the 11 adaptable fixtures that comprise our Acoustic Collection, these four new patterns significantly increase the opportunities for designers to create custom lighting solutions.”

As the first manufacturer to integrate acoustic paneling in high-performance lighting, LightArt has been the go-to source for acoustic lighting solutions for years. They have continuously evolved their acoustic offerings, introducing new Sola Felt colors and modular products, like Static Links, to meet the changing needs of designers. With this launch, they offer a seamless way to integrate their acoustic fixtures into hospitality and office environments. From the sophisticated look of Walnut to the inviting warmth of Rich Bamboo, the Acoustic Collection Wood Textures provide a luxe finish ideal for well-appointed corporate spaces, hotel lobbies, and restaurants. The new patterns enable designers and architects to add the warmth of organic, textural material to high-traffic environments like hospital cafés, school auditoriums, and modern workplaces, either as a standalone acoustic lighting solution or a central design feature integrated throughout a space.

The Acoustic Collection Wood Textures feature standard horizontal grain patterns. The new printing process is Greenguard Gold certified. Composed of 50% post-consumer recycled content, the Sola Felt material used across the Acoustic Collection is a Declare Label Red List Free product. LightArt’s Acoustic Collection includes fixtures with NRC ratings between 0.75 and 1.3.
