Soliscape, a versatile and flexible toolbox of components, to create user-centric environments
A manifesto of the Future of Offices
The Soliscape components
The Soliscape system is a toolbox of flexible components and modules; a system that combines lighting with acoustics and connected sensoring. The system is also flexible and future-proof, as it allows for new materials and functions to be added in the future.
The spot
The Soliscape spot modules comes in 2 sizes and various colour combinations. It enables you to illuminate any part of the room where Soliscape is applied. The hybrid optics guarantee a precise beam, as the lens controls and shapes the light that is reflected from the high-quality reflector.
The spot modules have a colour rendering of CRI ≥ 90, or come in a CRI ≥ 95 version with Deltalight’s unique Natural Light Technology (NLT), state of the art LEDs with a spectrum that very closely matches that of the sun. That includes a broader spectrum, which is preferable for the human eye and brings out the vibrant colours, and an enhanced cyan energy, boosting the human activity.
As so, helping to control the circadian rhythm to further stimulate the human wellbeing. The Soliscape spot modules makes its connection on the top of the profile, keeping a very clean and refined appearance without compromising on flexibility and performance
Linear lighting
In the Soliscape system you can add different types of linear profiles, both with up- and downlighting, enhancing the sense of space and creating a uniform glow on both vertical as horizontal surfaces, which leads to a reduced contrast and relaxes the eye. The Soli-Form profile is a combination of Deltalight’s Melanopic Light Technology (MLT) with high efficient louvre optics.
The reflector is designed to perfectly embrace every individual LED module in a way to boost the efficiency of the complete luminaire, while maintaining a high level of visual comfort, as every LED dot is shielded from being looked into. Its slender dimensions of 28 by 28mm weld in seamlessly with the slim dimensions of the Soliscape.
Apart from task lighting and focused accent lighting, Soliscape offers linear solutions for general lighting with the Soli-Line. Matching with the complete set-up, the design is minimalist and straightforward. Installed in line with the profile or connecting two opposite profiles, these straight lines are finished with a sandblasted optic to diffuse the light around the room, both as down- or uplight.
Acoustic panels
For additional optimization of room acoustics, Soliscape enables you to combine user focused lighting with Soli-Shhh panels. The sound-absorbing panels can easily be added or removed, positioned flat or tilted, guaranteeing noise reduction to office spaces and meetings rooms in the most aesthetical
way. These sound-absorbing panels are created to solve the problem of indoor reverberation to guarantee the best acoustic comfort and wellbeing. Absorbing the noises in the field of typical speech frequencies (between 500 Hz and 2000 Hz). These sound absorbing panels can be applied to facilitate for specific functionalities, from acoustic to decorative and illuminous atmospheric scenes.
Soli-Shhh panels can be used as an add-on to the Soliscape toolbox or as a separate sound absorbing element, be it with or without additional spot modules mounted around the circle.
In consultation with Deltalight, Soliscape has been developed by UNSx, UNStudio’s in-house multidisciplinary team. UNSx used an iterative design thinking process that alternated between divergent and convergent design steps. The key aims were to humanize spaces and make them more adaptable. The heart of the process therefore involved research to identify the human-centric problems the system should solve and the resulting functions and services it could offer. Various insights were uncovered concerning the use of light in space with respect to the needs of the end users, the designers and the facility managers. These insights were then turned into workable solutions.
The co-creative nature of the process enabled us to draw on the best expertise from both companies and to bring this know-how into the final system design. The process involved different facets of the system, from the design of the product to the technology required to create the adaptive experience, and the design of the services connected to the Soliscape system.
