Etnia – Indoor Lamp with Sound Absorbing Properties

As a reflection on the concepts of community and affinity, the Etnia system consists of a very simple linear element with direct and indirect light and interchangeable panels, suspended between a pair of aluminum profiles. The panels are lined with sound-absorbing fabrics in various colors and are available with customized finishes. These colors and textures create an interaction with the light, giving it dynamism and helping to define a perfect synthesis between the technical world and the decorative world.

Etnia is a collection of indoor pendant lamps with sound-absorbing properties, consisting of panels made from recycled PET covered in colored fabric. The black anodized aluminum structure has an upper diffuser in opaline PMMA (Polymethylmethacrylate) and a lower diffuser in micro-prismatic PMMA. The LED source is available in an ON OFF version, or with double control of the uplight and downlight flows with PUSH 1..10V, PUSH 1..10V DALI, or phase cut systems. The power supply is integrated, and all the versions are high-efficiency and ripple-free.

Etnia completes Fabbian’s range in addition to Acustica, which features a large, slim lampshade inspired by a drum cymbal but reverses the musical concept by absorbing sound from the space, to create a high level of acoustic comfort.

Its naturally inclined angle, and its lightness, make possible dynamic and creative compositions of multiple lamps, whilst the light source itself remains central and fixed. Acustica is available in a range of color variations, and is ideal for use in public spaces such as restaurants and luxury offices, as well as large waiting areas.
