Rice Field

The Rice Field series consist of two models in two different sizes.

Inspired by the shape of rice fields, the organic outline of the layers create a sheltered atmosphere coherent with its acoustic efficacy. By extruding the flat surface of the acoustic melamine foam, the luminaire’s volume is increased, improving its acoustic effectiveness.

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 en 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.
