Mitigo Light is an acoustic lighting solution designed to fit into modern collaboration spaces. Dynamic work environments help to foster collaboration and conversation but equally can create acoustic challenges. As noise can lead to compromised productivity and wellbeing, Mitigo aims to provide a space for conversation to occur by dampening sound levels and using smart lighting technology to improve focus, privacy and concentration.
Mimicking the elements of a house, Mitigo offers privacy, shelter, warmth and sound absorbing functionality. The smart lighting technology provides the opportunity for users to change the lighting to an amber signal - indicating users are engaged and requiring focused time. It’s distinctive form and large size (1200mm in length) is easily identifiable and assists with wayfinding to meeting areas within open plan offices.
Mitigo brings together acoustic, lighting, technology and privacy solutions into one design, making it a multi-purpose product to enhance any commercial environment. With leading organisations looking to gain competitive advantage and increase wellbeing for employees, Mitigo is perfectly positioned to tap into this opportunity.
