Entry DescriptionCono is a remarkable acoustic light fixture that redefines the boundaries of functionality and style in both commercial and residential settings. The fixture combines the power of noise absorption and ambient lighting into one multi-purpose product. With a strikingly modern PET cone structure, Cono remains fully recyclable at the end of its life cycle.
Available in two sizes – a substantial 60-inch (1500mm) diameter and a more compact 37.4-inch (950mm) variant – and an array of 50 exquisite premium Camira Blazer Wool colorways, Cono provides a level of customization that effortlessly harmonizes with diverse design schemes. Cono also offers an assortment of high-performance dimmable LED lighting output options, including a hi-output task light and a glass-diffused ambient light, and is available as an E26/27 lamp holder for a multitude of uses. The design is unique with a distinctive black finial for a distinguished, playful and polished finish. Cono can serve as a striking solo design statement or be installed en masse to infuse spaces with even more personality and character.
Cono empowers architects and designers to illuminate interior spaces while simultaneously eliminating noise, delivering a solution that is efficient and cost-effective. The fixture is an elegant, sustainable, and acoustically superior lighting solution that enhances the overall ambiance of any space.
Sustainability ApproachCono is hand-upholstered with a rapidly renewable and biodegradable wool on a thermo-formed felt PET shell that is manufactured from recycled plastics. All of the materials are non-toxic, non-allergenic, non-irritant, and do not contain formaldehyde binders. The production process is eco-friendly with no waste water, emissions, waste or adhesive. Cono is fully recyclable at the end of life and contributes to LEED points. The brand also offers a Product Stewardship Program, which provides an avenue for all products manufactured by the brand to be returned through the selected distributor for recycling at end of product life.
