Barbican: Aerie Acoustic Pendant Luminaire

Barbican: Aerie Acoustic Pendant Luminaire

March 19, 2025

The Aerie Acoustic Pendant Luminaire Creates Silence with Style

With its design aesthetic paying tribute to the large nest of a bird of prey, typically built high in a tree or on a cliff, the Aerie fixture is a variation of our Drum luminaire, one of the most popular and versatile options from Barbican.

Aerie helps to add some silence as well as aesthetic warmth, texture, and presence to a space combining the best elements of architectural and decorative lighting into a single luminaire.
