Static, LightArt
The linear light source of this direct/indirect luminaire is narrowly suspended between two PET felt panels, leaving a layer of air in between the three components to help with sound absorption. The fixture has a noise reduction coefficient of one and utilizes a microstructure diffuser to eliminate glare. Static is available in 3500K at a CRI of 80 and can deliver up to 2,000 lumens per foot. The luminaire is offered in 4’- or 8’-lengths in 72W or 144W, respectively. The fixture comes standard with an integrated Philips driver that is zero-to-10V dimmable to one percent. Felt colors come in nickel and cast. lightart.com
BuzziChandelier, BuzziSpace
Inspired by a traditional Moorish lantern, this pendant is made up of two cylindrical volumes using the company’s 100-percent-recycled PET felt, aptly named BuzziFelt. The 29.53”-tall by 30.7”-in-diameter luminaire can be installed with three metal suspension cables, at a drop of either 78.7” or 196.8” long. The fixture requires 120V to 277V input and uses 40W CFL or 40W SB-LED lamps. Available in plain or perforated diffuser options, BuzziChandelier comes in three fabric colorways: Gold, Carrara, and Emperador. buzzi.space
Pétale RGB/DMX, Luceplan

Pétale is fitted with a 3000K LED module, which comes in 3000K, while RGB and tunable white LED sources (2400K to 6000K) ring its perimeter. Dimming options include DMX and DALI; a DMX generator with a touchscreen wall panel is also available and can control up to 32 fixtures. luceplan.com
