Net: An Acoustic Luminaire for Industrial Spaces

Bringing Comfort and Functionality to Office and Industrial Environments

Net is a unique luminaire designed by Miguel Ángel Sánchez Martín, aimed at providing both adequate lighting and acoustic comfort in industrial spaces. Inspired by traditional industrial design, this innovative lighting solution combines functionality, versatility, and aesthetics to create a more comfortable and efficient working environment.

Net stands out from other luminaires due to its metal mesh diffuser with an acoustic membrane, which not only allows for the passage of light but also absorbs noise. This feature is particularly important in industrial settings where noise levels can be high. The mesh also provides protection to the power supply, preventing dust and dirt from affecting its performance.

One of the key strengths of Net is its adaptability. Designed with an ITEM 60 profile, it offers different configurations to suit both industrial and office environments. Its suspension system features a regulator shaped like a 'Y', making installation a breeze. The luminaire is powered by OLED technology, ensuring energy efficiency and complemented with accessories to accommodate emergency lighting.

The realization of Net involves the use of Sonogamma's FILVA-T, a chain-link fencing material with an acoustic membrane. This material not only reduces reverberation but also adds an industrial aesthetic to the luminaire. The ITEM profile used in industrial machinery provides excellent solutions for configuration and accessories. The suspension cable incorporates a regulation system, simplifying installation.

Net is available in various sizes, including small (600mm x 200mm x 90mm), medium (1200mm x 200mm x 90mm), large (1500mm x 200mm x 90mm), and corner (200mm x 200mm x 90mm). These different sizes allow for flexibility in design and placement, ensuring optimal lighting in any industrial space.

Net's unique combination of lighting and acoustic features sets it apart from other luminaires in the market. Its chain-link fencing design provides both protection and noise reduction, making it an ideal choice for industrial environments. The ITEM profile allows for versatile configurations, creating illumination networks and adapting to different levels and spaces.

The Net project was initiated in September 2017 and is currently in the pre-seam prototype stage. The design team, led by Miguel Ángel Sánchez Martín, has dedicated extensive research and development to create a luminaire that addresses the specific needs of industrial spaces. The team's focus on acoustic improvement and the use of cutting-edge materials and technologies have resulted in a truly innovative lighting solution.

Net has received recognition for its outstanding design and functionality. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures category in 2019. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Net's integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and contribution to a better world have earned it this esteemed accolade.

Net is not just a luminaire; it is a testament to the power of design to enhance our everyday environments. With its unique combination of lighting and acoustic features, Net brings comfort, functionality, and aesthetics to office and industrial spaces, creating a more pleasant and productive working environment.
