Focal Point Launches The Naturals Collection 

A coordinated collection of nature-inspired finishes for luminaires and acoustic solutions 

CHICAGO – Biophilia has entered all spheres of design, with evidence pointing to happier and healthier building occupants and faster recovery in healthcare settings. Supporting this movement and offering novel design options to specifiers, Focal Point presents The Naturals, a collection of carefully curated finishes that enhance luminaires, as well as acoustic solutions. Comprehensive of five wood and fabric textures: Chestnut, Gray Elm, Light Oak, Walnut, and Woven Linen, The Naturals are available as standard for a wide selection of acoustic baffles, linear luminaires, lit and acoustic pendants, downlights, cylinders, and acoustic ceiling tiles. 

“The Naturals collection responds to designer demand for a broader selection of finishes for architectural luminaires that support the design of cohesive and coordinated interior spaces,” observes Star Davis, Vice President, Innovation & Product Development for Focal Point. “Post-pandemic, people are embracing environments that feel homey and welcoming and companies are leveraging design to draw employees to the workplace. This translates to a greater need for decorative features in the lighting and ceiling systems and incorporating natural finishes and texture, ” notes Davis. 

The five finishes included in the initial offering showcase the warmth of wood and natural fibers with a modern aesthetic and neutral colorways. 

• Chestnut 
  • A classic, neutral, mid-tone linear wood grain.

• Gray Elm 
  • A softly undulating, linear wood grain rendered in warm gray and medium brown tones.

• Light Oak
  • A straight-grain, slightly wavy oak pattern executed in a warm neutral color.

• Walnut
  • A flat cut wood grain showcasing in a rich and warm walnut shade.

• Woven Linen
  • A subtle, natural fiber texture.

Renditions on PET felt and luminaire housings and trims are exquisitely paired, so that interiors can be enhanced with a combination of any of the following products: 

• AirCore Blade

• AirCore Bridge 

• ID+ 2", 3.5" & 4.5" Cylinders / ID+ 3.5" Pure Cylinders

• ID+ 2", 3.5" & 4.5" Square Downlights

• Nivo Acoustic

• Ori 

• Seem 1 / Seem 1 Acoustic / Seem 1 Acoustic Trio

All five finishes are specifiable from the cut sheets and available within standard lead times.
