Sounds Like Light Echo Pendant

Echo is a modern acoustic pendant with a large shade made from thick, durable PET felt material, giving it a soft appearance with subtle folds at the top. The light source sits concealed within a white reflector inside the felt shade, producing a soft, diffused light that prevents glare and keeps a clean, sleek look. This design suits reception areas, breakout spaces or hospitality interiors where a striking feature pendant with a comfortable, glare free light output is needed. Its 550mm diameter also gives it enough visual presence to work as a single statement fitting.

Echo has a Noise Reduction Coefficient of 0.85, showing it absorbs a good proportion of the sound reaching its surface. The large surface area of its felt shade contributes to this performance, giving genuine acoustic benefit alongside its role as a feature light. This makes Echo a practical choice for open interiors where noise and reverberation are a concern as well as the visual design of the lighting. Specifiers can point to this NRC figure when justifying Echo for a wellbeing or acoustic comfort brief.

Concealing the light source behind a diffusing material is one way to avoid the sharp point of light a bare lamp can create. Ricoman's Echo pendant does this by housing its light source within a white reflector inside a thick PET felt shade, giving a soft, diffused output that prevents glare while keeping a clean, sleek look from below. This suits spaces where comfortable, even light matters as much as the acoustic performance, such as meeting rooms or reception areas.

Echo measures 550mm in diameter and 240mm in height, giving it a strong visual presence as a single feature pendant. It weighs 2.1kg, a helpful figure when confirming ceiling fixing requirements for a suspended installation. This size sits between the smaller Chorus and Whisper pendants and the larger Harmony options, giving specifiers a mid sized dome option within the collection. Confirming this size early helps designers plan spacing when using multiple Echo pendants across a larger ceiling.

Not necessarily, it depends on the materials used. Despite its 550mm diameter, Ricoman's Echo pendant weighs only 2.1kg thanks to its PET felt construction, meaning it doesn't need the reinforced ceiling fixings that a similarly sized fitting in heavier materials might require. This makes a large visual statement achievable without adding installation complexity or cost.
