Beyond the Ceiling & Walls: Impactful Color-Changing Barrisol® Environments

Luminous Barrisol® ceilings and walls use color-changing LED technology to shape atmosphere and support how a space is used throughout the day. Neutral tones suit everyday operations, while richer brand colors can highlight events, milestones, or special moments. Warmer hues create a welcoming feel for evening use or guest receptions, with digital controls allowing lighting to evolve as branding or needs change—without physical alterations.

Extending the same approach into the vertical plane, Barrisol® luminous walls are built on a lightweight aluminum framework, with integrated lighting and translucent membranes. The result is a clean, softly glowing architectural surface that delivers uniform, glare-free illumination and visual calm. When ceilings and walls shift color in sync, the space gains depth and rhythm, subtly reinforcing brand presence and guiding movement through key areas without relying on signage.

Luminous Barrisol systems also offer flexibility beyond lighting. Printable membranes allow graphics or textures to be integrated directly into the surface, and acoustic options improve speech clarity in conference rooms, boardrooms, and collaborative spaces. With a slim profile, concealed components, and durable, washable materials, the system integrates easily into both new construction and renovations while maintaining crisp architectural lines.

Lighting the Future: A Transformative Lobby Experience at Arctic Wolf Headquarters

Working in close collaboration with HGA Architects (Minneapolis) and Gardner Builders Construction (Minneapolis), we supported their design team's requirement of a distinctive lobby entrance for Arctic Wolf that reflects the company’s forward-looking culture and leadership in cybersecurity.


Their design teams selected the Barrisol Artolis® Lumière system paired with Barrilite® Mesh RGB lighting, making light itself an architectural element. The luminous surfaces create an immersive arrival experience that communicates innovation and confidence while remaining adaptable over time.

Beyond visual impact, the system supports long-term performance. The shock and

impact-resistant Barrisol woven fabric is well-suited for a high-traffic headquarters environment, and integrated acoustic options help manage sound and improve comfort within the lobby.



The result is a refined, adaptable entry experience—one that balances architectural expression, performance, and brand identity in a cohesive, enduring way.

With more than 75 years of experience, we help bring your design vision to life by integrating lighting, branding, acoustics, and architectural systems into a unified, future-ready solution.


Through early design-assist involvement, deep technical expertise, and close collaboration from concept through installation, we are here to help!
