Tools for healthy, serene work environments.
Welcome the workforce back to spaces where employers and their staff can feel safe, confident and free to focus.
Safe, Clean Spaces
Welcome to the new normal! As workers continue to shift back to office spaces, COVID safety is still top of mind. These lighting solutions and furnishings are great options for creating and maintaining work environments that are hygienic, adaptable enough to accommodate changing social distancing needs, and ultimately better-equipped to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other illnesses.
Keep It Clean With Wipeable Shades
The pandemic has left us all hyper-aware of the importance of cleanliness–especially in shared environments. Deep cleaning and surface disinfection are a long-term reality for employers keeping facilities open to staff. When choosing lamps that will be positioned within reach of employees and their work spaces, steer clear of options with porous, uncoated surfaces to avoid complications when it’s time to disinfect.
Stafford by Innermost is a contemporary collection of wipeable shades treated with an antibacterial, mold-resistant coating. Perfect for wall, table and floor lamps situated near desks and work stations. The material also makes an excellent wall covering and can be supplied in a roll.
Social Distance In Style!
Partitions and dividers come in handy when work stations need to be reconfigured in response to evolving social distancing policies. Why settle for a plain plexiglass barrier when you can integrate protection into any of these stylish dividers? Each of the below screens can be ordered with an optional plexiglass add-on, making them perfect tools for creating and maintaining workplaces that are flexible, adaptable and safe to share.
Groove by LZF Lamps
The Groove screen, with its chic mid-century aesthetic, brings a sense of motion to the spaces it occupies. Add an optional transparent methacrylate sheet to use this floor-standing divider as a tool for separating and shielding work stations. Shown here in a natural cherry wood finish, Groove also comes in brightly colored red and orange finishes for a more playful look.

Fight Back With Germicidal Lighting
Want to go the extra mile to keep COVID-19, influenza and other illnesses from spreading in the workplace? ETI Solid State Lighting‘s CleanAire and SilentAire products use germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) light to actually fight COVID-19 and other infectious pathogens. Learn more about GUV.
The SilentAire line includes a range of architectural fixtures ideal for illuminating and protecting shared work environments. Each is equipped with an ultra-quiet air circulation system that kills pathogens. Air is disinfected in a sealed UVC chamber, keeping those occupying the space protected from direct UVC exposure. The system is 100% safe for people and pets.
The SilentAire UVC Round High Bay, shown here with optional opaque prismatic reflector, gives off traditional LED illumination while treating air with its people-safe internal germicidal UVC system. View product specifications.
This direct-mount, canless downlight with remote J-box illuminates spaces with traditional LED lighting while it disinfects the air. Installation and maintenance are simple–no specialized training, controls or safety measures are needed. View product specifications.
Peace & Quiet
For most, the past year-and-a-half has been a time of constant churn.

Incorporate sound-absorbing acoustic elements to deliver calm, productive, environments that let workers focus on doing their best work.
