A bespoke ceiling lays the groundwork for innovation and design
UK lighting solutions manufacturer Light Forms teamed with Zentia, a UK manufacturer of mineral fiber acoustic ceiling solutions, to enhance a meeting room at Material Source Studio (MSS) in Manchester, England. MSS serves as a creative space for design professionals and features installations from myriad brands while hosting seminars, workshops, product showcases, and networking opportunities. The triangular ceiling lighting solution, a DecoFrame Kit Classic Canopy, Gridline, proposed by Zentia Solutions Design Manager Nick Harper, was tailored to its environment with the inclusion of Light Form’s Trifecta, a slimline ceiling light developed to fit Zentia’s design. The overall effect of the LED backlit design encourages creative inspiration while providing functionality, acoustic benefits, and a comfortable ambience. Following Trifecta’s successful launch, Light Forms has developed it as a product to sell with various color temperature options and multiple diffusers—returning full circle to the intended use of the innovation hub at MSS.
