Lighting and Acoustics, Redefined Through Innovation.
Designed in collaboration with paper-folding artist Peter Dahmen, Hilo transforms complex folding geometry into high-performance architectural form.
Its modular, three-dimensional profile interlocks to create a continuous, undulating ceiling that enhances both light and shadow. Beyond its striking visual impact, Hilo improves acoustic performance, diffusing sound through its faceted geometry while absorbing noise to reduce reverberation.
The result is a refined balance of design and function, bringing clarity, depth, and comfort to interior spaces.
Layout
By alternating tile orientation, Hilo transforms the ceiling into a dynamic, wave-like surface—where shifting ridges and edges create striking patterns and amplify shadow play. This flexibility allows designers to shape unique, architectural expressions within the ceiling plane.
Integrated Lighting
Purpose-built for Hilo, ARON Lighting’s linear edge-lit light engine integrates seamlessly into the tile, preserving the purity of the design while delivering exceptional performance.
Advanced optics offer low-glare illumination with both symmetric and asymmetric distributions, allowing precise control of light exactly where it’s needed, without disrupting the ceiling’s visual rhythm. The result is light that is fully tailored to the architecture, ensuring the original design intent remains uncompromised
Color & Finish
We offer a curated palette of standard finishes, including refined grays, blue, and beige, designed to complement a wide range of interior environments.
For greater creative flexibility, FACT Design also provides custom color printing, allowing designers to match brand standards or explore unique tones. The result is a ceiling system that not only performs, but aligns seamlessly with the overall design vision.
ARON’s EDGE Lighting Provides Beam Shaping Characteristics With Low Glare
Edge lit optical-technology allows our fixtures to have exceptionally evenly lit lenses, effectively negating “hot-spotting” on the lens and reducing glare. Through surface bonded extraction features, we can produce the optimal beam shape for any scenario your job requires.
