Focal Point debuts acoustic ceiling
Architectural ceiling and lighting firm Focal Point brings to market the Mora™system, to enhance architecture, improve acoustics, and offer all the options lighting professionals expect from an architectural luminaire.
“With Mora, our goal is to give specifiers tools to express their creativity with designing complete ceiling systems where lighting is not an afterthought, rather an integral part of the ceiling,” explained Mike McCoy, acoustics ambassador at Chicago, Ill.-based Focal Point.
With easy spec and install, and seamless integration of lit and unlit components, engineered, manufactured, and sourced from a single supplier, Mora fulfills the unmet needs of architects, lighting designers, acousticians, and installers at once, said Focal Point.
McCoy said, “Mora epitomizes this core design principle, leveraging parametric design tools to seamlessly integrate functional lighting into complex, multi-dimensional ceiling systems.”
Mora leverages the light engine and acoustic performance of Seem® 1 Acoustic and the flexibility of the TruBlade™ unlit baffle to create exceptional ceiling arrays that add movement and texture to the ceiling while optimizing the light levels and acoustics of interior environments. It offers three levels of customization with Mora Build, Mora Create, and Mora Inspire.
Seem 1 Acoustic, the backbone of the Mora system, offers direct illumination of 100 to 500 lumens per foot with a regress or wide batwing lens, 3000K, 3500K, or 4000K color temperatures at 80 or 90 CRI, and the integration with 0-10V, DALI, or Lutron EcoSystem® controls, the company said. It allows for Mora Create or custom Mora Inspire arrays up to 208 feet in length.
As with all other acoustic solutions from Focal Point, the firm said, Mora is available in a palette of PET felt colors, from neutral to bold, to enhance any interior décor. Containing up to 50% post-consumer recycled content, the material in entirely recyclable, Declare Certified and LBC Red List Free.
“From our simple baffle systems to our award-winning platforms, such as AirCore Bridge™, the ‘lighting first’ approach sets Focal Point apart in the ceiling space and opens new opportunities for our lighting agents and the lighting design community,” said McCoy. “Both specifiers and contractors appreciate the peace of mind associated with sourcing an engineered, vetted, tested system from a single supplier.”
