Concept
The RELAX Light is a skilful combination of elegant light and highly effective acoustic absorber. Like elegant flying objects, the charming RELAX Lights colonise the interior space and swallow up anything loud or uncomfortable. The class A acoustic absorbers, which are flush with the light ring, neutralise almost 100% of sounds in the frequency range of the human voice. The circular acoustic element, with a surface of the finest merino wool surrounded by a ring of up and down light LEDs, is hung from delicate steel cables. Hundreds of possible variations can be chosen from 36 colours of fabric, various wood and aluminium surfaces, as well as a choice of four different diameters (from 78 cm to 136 cm). The timeless RELAX Light can be set up within any architecture as an attractive individual light or an entire swarm arrangement of lights. RELAX Light is the result of a collaboration between Nina Mair, specialist in acoustics YDOL, and partner for lighting technology Planlicht.

Nina Mair
Austria
The developing process preceding each of Nina Mair’s projects resembles the development of a storyboard and consists of far more than simply dealing with the pragmatic and technical aspects of each project. With her products and architectural concepts, Nina Mair tells stories of the origin, birth and final destination of an object. She often follows tracks leading back into a distant past while at the same time letting her creativity be guided by the future. Her work draws from her passion and enthusiasm for materials, handicraft und various industrial production techniques. Her design ideas are analysed in cooperation with manufacturers, material properties being examined and exhausted, and production procedures refined. It is her aim not only to achieve innovation and functional adequacy but also to transform handcrafted products into objects that can be produced serially in order to make them accessible to as many people as possible. She gains inspiration from her daily surroundings at home as well as her travels, particularly to the vibrant metropolises around the globe. Led by her unerring instincts for current tendencies, she discovers remote quarters, workshops and all sorts of hotbeds of creativity where she locates the unknown and unexpected as sources for new ideas. Looking at something in its entirety, from the object to a building and vice versa, is based on Nina Mair‘s passion for architecture: „Architecture is more than just a vessel, filled with objects, it is a space that has the potential to develop along with the people who use it. I consider my work to be successful when it stirs people emotionally.“
