The iconic shade is now reinterpreted with a twist. This elegant noise-reducing lighting, designed with a keen eye for details offers both sound absorption and light. Now, with BuzziShade Square, a meeting room can be well-balanced, ensuring perfect speech intelligibility, while blending in with the interior.

This pendant lamp reduces external noise levels to a minimum. Thanks to the big surface it covers and its rounded-corners shape, it traps sound waves as they travel upwards and prevents sound waves from bouncing. By placing this outstanding acoustic lighting element above the sound source, such as lounges or workstations, it absorbs a large amount of sound, creating a well-balanced sound experience.

The shape of the felt shade is moulded by impregnating the felt with steam and heat preserving the soft touch of the felt. Not only is the nicely finished metal frame a design feature in itself, but also our signature lacing complements the unique personality of this fancy acoustic lighting solution.

BuzziShade Square is versatile modern lighting that means the perfect addition to any office, lobby area or restaurant. Be adventurous and hang several BuzziShade Square in a row for an even more distinctive setting.

Why Quiet Mark?

"I couldn't hear my baby crying over the noise of the hairdryer"

The damaging effect of excessive noise on health, productivity and social cohesion is seriously underestimated. World Health Organisation research shows that environmental noise pollution affects mental and physical health and is now second only to air pollution as the world’s largest killer pollutant. Across an estimated population of 340 million people, at least 1 million years of healthy living are lost each year due to noise pollution in Western Europe.

In our fast-paced lives, vibrancy is exciting and necessary. But this heightened state can only be valued if there is also the opportunity to choose the alternatives of calm, quiet and the chance to switch off. Quiet Mark was established to provide a credible, independent public health product symbol and directory to help consumers and industry easily identify quietest products for the home, at work and for public spaces.
