Zentia & Light Forms collaborate on a new angle for ceiling design.

We know that acoustics and lighting play a crucial role in supporting comfortable working environments.

To aid designers in delivering in both areas, a collaboration between Material Source Studio Partners, Zentia & Light Forms, has resulted in the creation of an entirely bespoke ceiling solution with integrated lighting - showcased for the first time in Material Source Studio Manchester's Meeting Space One.

Zentia proposed and fitted a custom solution featuring its DecoFrame Kit Classic Canopy, Gridline, and triangle tiles in a mixture of white and grey. Solutions design manager, Nick Harper, crafted the design, alongside providing the expertise and partnership working that Zentia is known for.

Key features of the solution include bespoke lighting, designed in collaboration with Light Forms, which complements the overall aesthetic and functionality of the raft system. The raft was tailored to align perfectly with the size and space of the table beneath it, ensuring a balanced, cohesive look.

Meeting Space One is positioned next to the kitchen at Material Source Studio Manchester and is a prime location for the hosting of presentations and board meetings, so an acoustically sound solution was essential.

John Spicer, head of new product development at Zentia, commented on the finished result, now a part of its product portfolio. “We’ve been encouraged by the positive feedback on how straightforward the installation process is, which led us to officially launch this as a product."

To support architects and designers, Zentia has developed a set of standardised Revit models, available to download from NBS Source, BIMobject, and its own website, to make specification as seamless as possible.
