Glow Wall

Ok so the future is totally here.  Phillips has announced that it will partner with Kvadraf Soft Cells to create something that's out of this world, a type of textile that's very much alive.   Well not really alive but basically a color changing panel.   Integrating addressable LED's into the soft cells of acoustic panels, designed to work with sound waves in order to create this fabric that can glow and create ambient lighting as well as adding textural and design elements.

This style of lighting will create a kind of a glowing wallpaper panels for rooms that can be used in ways that traditional wall and ceiling mounted lighting cannot be. The lights could potentially have the ability to change colors based on the owner’s desires. The textile will also have a secondary effect, the dampening of noise, since the panels are designed to dampen noise and softens echoes.

The wall panels can take a bunch of forms, they have aluminum frames that allow them to fit into any shapes.

Currently, there is no word on when Phillips will be releasing the panels on the market, or how much each one will cost. Currently, the company is targeting businesses and hotel chains with this lighting, so the odds are that, at least at first; this glow in the dark wall covering will not be an inexpensive lighting option for home use.
