BOOK is now available in continuous and non-illuminated/acoustic-only versions. Let’s explore the three multi-tasking and versatile members of the BOOK family!

BOOK by Beta-Calco

BOOK fortifies Beta-Calco’s acoustic collection of geometric shapes with a straight line.  Their classic linear profile is wrapped in sound-absorbing material fluidly designed with rounded edges and a regressed lens that sums up aesthetic, visual, and sound comfort. Suitable for spaces that require noise and glare reduction such as libraries, collaboration rooms, and restaurants.

Why choose BOOK?

• Versatile linear configuration
• Sound-absorbing materials
• Six color options

BOOK II

BOOK II is a hybrid solution that combines exceptional lighting performance with sound comfort.  Beta-Calco’s classic linear profile is finished with acoustic panels with an NRC rating of 0.8.  Three optics are available to attain the appropriate light levels and effects while creating a comfortable environment.  Suitable for spaces that require proper ambient light with minimal sound reverberation such as open offices, labs, gyms, and design studios.

Why choose BOOK II?

• Finished with acoustic panels with an NRC rating of 0.8
• Three optics options for optimal light levels
• Provides both ambient light and minimizes sound reverberation

BOOK NON ILLUMINATED

Decrease sound reverberation with sound baffles that match the form factor of the Book series. Beta-Calco’s classic linear profile is wrapped in sound-absorbing material with either a regressed cover to match the Book acoustic luminaire or a flush cover to match Book II.

Non-Illuminated panels are effective for controlling noise and maintaining open office design without the need for additional walls.

Why choose BOOK NON ILLUMINATED?

Reasons to choose BOOK NON ILLUMINATED:

• Two cover options to match either BOOK – with a regressed cover – or BOOK II – with a flush cover
• Panels provide effective noise control
• Covers made with 100% recycled PET
