Convex

The Convex series consists of two models in two different sizes.

Due to their familiar shape, these luminaires require little introduction. The symmetrical character and subtle interplay of lines create a serene light silhouette. The combination of volume, shape and mass make the luminaires to provide a sheltered feeling.

Acoustic effectiveness Convex series

Melamine foam 100 mm

Good to know

Our luminaires are made from basic white melamine foam with an untreated surface. Compared to other acoustic materials this effectively absorbs sounds with a low frequency also, including speech. 

Other colours than basic white are available by flocking the top layer, meaning the luminaire’s surface is treated and covered with coloured soft fibres.

Melamine foam has an open structure, allowing light to protrude gently through the material with some of our models. When flocking a luminaire this property is lost.

Cleaning

To remove dust and dirt from your luminaire, it is best to use the separate piece of melamine foam included in the cleaning kit. Less superficial stains on basic white luminaires can be removed with water.

Moisten the separate piece of melamine with water. Brush the surface of the stain with long strokes. The result should be visible immediately. Finally, let the luminaire air dry.

We strongly advise against the use of other cleaning agents.

Installation and storage

The melamine foam has a spatial mesh structure, formed by very fine and slightly porous connections. This network structure has a great sound-absorbing ability. It however complicates the installation of the luminaires. Products damaged during installation not carried out by Foamo can therefore not be warranted.

If the luminaire is not installed immediately after delivery, it’s of great importance the packaging box is preserved horizontally, as to prevent loss of shape.

General

Every luminaire is made by hand in our studio in Zaandam (greater Amsterdam area), and carefully checked for irregularities. Being handmade, every item is unique. Therefore small variables in the appearance of the luminaires may occur. The bottom plane of a luminaire may twist by a very small degree due to its organic shape, combined with the soft characteristics of the melamine foam and air humidity.

The melamine foam we use is OEKO-TEX 100 certified and its production process complies with the State of California’s strict environmental laws. It is fire resistant conformant to DIN 4102 part 1 (B1) and BS 476 part 6/7 (Class 0), making our collection specifically suitable for venues open to the public.

Our luminaires come with dimmable LED light bulbs. A dimmer however is not included.
