D&B Cloud office
ANDlight062 FEATURE | ACOUSTIC LIGHTING
The ANDlight Slab Series combines a visually
graphic presence, an impossible slim profile
and acoustic dampening properties, making
it an aesthetically unique and diverse light
fixture. It was deemed the perfect choice
for Evoke International Design when working
on the new D&B Cloud office, which
includes meeting rooms with lots of hard
surfaces including glass, whiteboards and
wood paneling.
“The client wanted to achieve an ‘edgy /
industrial’ look for the space,” says David
Nicolay, Evoke Co-Founder. “The main
challenge with this was that they were
moving into a brand new office building...
so, we helped to achieve this by keeping
a restrained finishes palette consisting of
polished concrete floors, knotty hickory
wall panels and helped soften the harder
surfaces with touches of felt throughout.This included the use of the Slab lights in
both the wall sconce and pendant versions.
“The client wanted lights that were both
decorative and functional. We have been
using products from ANDlight for some
time - the minimalist yet functional
aesthetic of the Slab light in particular
blends seamlessly with the design aesthetic
that we try to achieve in our built spaces.
The quality of the LED is also second-to-
none. We particularly like supporting local
Vancouver brands and designers too, so
this provides a nice touch point within our
projects.
“We were really pleased with the final
outcome of the lighting design. We managed
to maintain a minimal design aesthetic,
while being exceptionally functional.
The decorative acoustic lighting adds a
layer of interest to the design through itsform, but enhances the space through its
functionality. We were able to change the
colours of the Slab lights to tie in with the
other finishes in each of the spaces they
were installed, so it creates a seamless
holistic design.
“It was great that our clients put complete
faith in us to deliver a design to meet their
initial brief. We provided an open concept
design that also accommodated quiet
breakaway work spaces, including one-on-
one railcar booth style meeting spaces.
We wrapped them in soft acoustic felt and
accented them with the Slab wall lights.
These booths provide quiet workspace, a
place to take a phone call or even have a
quick planning session with a co-worker.”
