Lean is a 2’ x 2’ patent-pending acoustic lay-in luminaire that becomes part of an architectural ceiling tile while increasing sound absorption across ceiling planes. Sustainability is at the forefront of Lean’s design. Shipping with only three collapsible components, Lean is 80% lighter than a typical 2’ x 2’ fixture.  

It is estimated that the overall shipping impact is reduced by as much as 88%. Up to 168 Lean fixtures can fit on 1 standard shipping pallet. To put that into context, if these fixtures ship 500 miles from our factory in Oceanside to San Francisco, the designers save 150 kg of CO2. 

Lean is also Declare label listed, which enhances transparency and simplifies material tracking. The Declare label will help to identify Lean’s components, including red list-free non-harmful chemicals such as the electrical wiring.
