The ideal number of Ripple fixtures depends on room dimensions, ceiling height, occupancy levels, acoustic targets, and lighting requirements. Smaller meeting rooms may require only one or two fixtures, while larger open-plan offices, hospitality venues, or public interiors may benefit from multiple units distributed throughout the space. Because Ripple contributes to both lighting and acoustic comfort, fixture placement should be considered as part of an integrated lighting and acoustic strategy to achieve optimal results.

Ripple is available with a B-s1,d0 fire classification, making it suitable for projects where fire safety is a key requirement. This classification indicates limited contribution to fire growth, very low smoke production, and no flaming droplets during combustion. Combined with its acoustic performance, lighting functionality, and sustainable material composition, Ripple provides a reliable solution for architects and specifiers seeking safe, high-performance interior products.

Yes. Ripple is designed to help improve speech intelligibility by reducing reverberation and controlling unwanted sound reflections within a space. In environments with hard surfaces such as glass, concrete, and exposed ceilings, sound waves can bounce repeatedly throughout the room, making conversations less clear and increasing background noise levels.

Manufactured from 50% recycled PET felt, Ripple helps absorb sound energy and create a more balanced acoustic environment. This can support clearer communication during meetings, presentations, collaborative work sessions, and everyday conversations. Improved speech clarity is particularly valuable in offices, conference rooms, libraries, hospitality venues, educational facilities, and reception areas where effective communication is essential.

By combining acoustic performance with direct and indirect lighting, Ripple helps create interior environments that are not only visually comfortable but also acoustically optimized for concentration, productivity, and user wellbeing. Its ability to support both lighting quality and acoustic comfort makes it a valuable solution for modern commercial and public interiors.

Unlike traditional pendant luminaires that focus solely on illumination, Ripple combines acoustic performance, architectural design, and lighting quality within a single suspended fixture. Its layered circular geometry helps absorb sound while creating a striking visual feature overhead. This multifunctional approach allows designers to improve both acoustic comfort and lighting performance without adding separate acoustic treatments, resulting in cleaner ceiling designs and more efficient interior solutions.
