Holly

Improving a soundscape is easy. Doing it with style is the hard part.
Design by: Runa Klock & Hallgeir Homstvedt

With Holly, Homstvedt and Klock have challenged preconceptions of how an acoustic lighting should look.

“An awful lot of acoustic lamps are easy to identify as acoustic products. They’re very much alike. It’s reminiscent of the early hybrid electric vehicles. You could tell right away that they were HEVs simply by their outer shape. It’s the same with acoustic lighting. Runa and I approached the concept from a different angle. Our ambition was to create a beautiful object that also happens to be really functional,” says one of the designer Hallgeir Homstvedt.

Holly awakens thoughts and associations that might soar to the Moon or the Sun. But the designers’ source of inspiration was rather more down to earth.

“We were thinking of holly and its beautiful berry clusters. Our working name for it was Holly, as well,” – says designer Runa Klock.

Holly acoustic lighting is sculptural and enigmatic. It plays with the contrasts between light, reflection and shadows.

The ambition with Holly was to create a beautiful object that also happens to be really functional.

  • The light globe is made from opal glass - an opaque, white glass that produces a beautiful, even light.

  • Holly is available with or without lighting. The soft, globe-shaped absorbers perfectly deals with low frequency sound waves! The globes are made from recycled fabric that has been transformed into Soundfelt REC material.

  • The absorbers are upholstered in a 3D-stitched melange seamless covering (polyester). The fabric is available in 3 different colours.
