Acoustic Comfort Meets Modular Lighting
Inspired by the geometry of architectural domes, Segment creates a distinctive spatial effect. The form recalls the oculus of the Pantheon, where light appears to emerge from an opening at the top. This design creates the impression of an “empty” illuminated dome within the space. The light source remains visually hidden while the luminaire softly defines the surrounding atmosphere.
Segment consists of three modular elements that can be combined in different ways. Designers can create round pendants in different sizes or develop more complex compositions that respond to demanding interior layouts.
Segment is suitable for offices, meeting rooms, hospitality venues, restaurants, reception areas, and residential interiors, where lighting, acoustics, and architectural expression need to work together.
PODCAST: Modular Lighting Designed by Boris Berlin
Yes. Segment is designed around a modular lighting concept, allowing designers to create a variety of lighting compositions using different module combinations. The system consists of multiple modular elements that can be configured into round, oval, linear, or more complex suspended lighting arrangements depending on the requirements of the project.
This flexibility makes Segment suitable for a wide range of architectural applications, from compact meeting rooms to large hospitality venues and open-plan commercial spaces. By adapting the configuration, designers can create lighting solutions that respond to both functional and aesthetic objectives while maintaining a consistent architectural language throughout the interior.
The modular approach also allows Segment to accommodate different ceiling heights, room proportions, and interior concepts, making it an adaptable solution for contemporary commercial and public spaces.
Segment is suitable for a broad range of commercial, hospitality, educational, and residential interiors. Common applications include offices, conference rooms, meeting spaces, restaurants, hotel lobbies, reception areas, coworking environments, libraries, educational facilities, and high-end residential projects.
Its modular design allows it to adapt to different project scales, while its acoustic properties help improve occupant comfort in environments where noise control is important. This versatility makes Segment an attractive solution for designers seeking a balance between lighting performance, acoustic comfort, and contemporary architectural design.
Segment is available with a B-s1,d0 fire classification, making it suitable for commercial, hospitality, educational, and public interior projects where fire performance is an important specification requirement. This classification indicates limited contribution to fire growth, very low smoke production, and no flaming droplets.
Combined with its acoustic properties, modular flexibility, and architectural design quality, Segment provides a reliable solution for projects that require both performance and compliance with modern building standards.
Absolutely. Modern interior environments require a balance between visual comfort, acoustic quality, and functional performance. Segment addresses these requirements by integrating sound-absorbing PET felt modules with high-quality direct and indirect lighting options.
The acoustic properties help reduce ambient noise and reverberation, while the lighting system creates comfortable illumination for both task-oriented and social environments. Together, these features contribute to improved occupant wellbeing, clearer communication, enhanced concentration, and a more enjoyable overall user experience.
This makes Segment particularly valuable in workplaces, hospitality venues, educational facilities, and collaborative spaces where comfort directly influences performance and satisfaction.
Segment
Designed by Boris Berlin
Segment Pendant Lighting combines modular flexibility with acoustic performance. The design allows different lighting configurations while creating a strong architectural presence in interior spaces.
Segment features a concealed LED light source that can provide direct light, indirect light, or both simultaneously. This flexibility allows designers to adapt the lighting according to different spatial needs, supporting both focused illumination and ambient lighting.
The lampshade modules are moulded from recycled PET felt, a material that helps absorb ambient sound and improve acoustic comfort. By combining lighting with sound absorption, Segment contributes to a calmer and more balanced interior environment.
