The design takes inspiration from scenes along the Mediterranean coast. Sand coloured Tasmanian Oak, Italian terrazzo, and gentle drapery aim to evoke emotions of nostalgia towards past travels. Ergonomic furniture and acoustic timber ceilings provide the utmost comfort and support.
A methodical approach was taken for the spatial layout, with inspiration drawn from the symmetrical floor plans of European Renaissance Architecture. The layout places the social areas towards the centre, surrounded by a circular array of the more private zones. This approach means areas where the most time is spent have access to the views, evoking a sense of freedom that ensures the best possible working environment.

Orielle is a lighting collection that fills a gap in the market for affordable and attractive acoustic lighting solutions for the home. Our lighting collection aims to assist the 1 in 7 Australians that suffer from varying levels of hearing impairments, to create comfortable and quiet home atmospheres. The gentle ripple-like form of the pendant light mimics the curves of shells and coral bringing the calm ocean aesthetic into the home.
Two layers of naturally dyed organic peat moss and recycled cork form the base of the pendant. Both materials have high grade acoustic values and can be recycled for a cradle to cradle life cycle. When one sense is compromised the other senses become even more important, so the dimmable LED bulb in every Orielle product provides clear light for lip reading or sign language, but also allows the light to be dimmed for a more relaxed environment.
