Ceiling Tiles / Affordance Collection
Purpose-driven Design
Designed to utilize shape psychology to enhance workplace affordances for improved productivity and wellbeing.
The Affordance Collection is built on intention — taken from the concept of design affordances, in which the characteristics of an environment support the end use of a space. We focused on five main affordances: focus, connection, collaboration, rest and ideation. Drawing from shape psychology, Qwel paired each affordance with a distinct geometric language proven to influence perception and behavior.
Focus / Square
Recessed Square
Offering a coffered look, Recessed Square simultaneously elevates and grounds spaces, allowing for a refined aesthetic without being distracting.
The straight lines and right angles of the square suggest stability, order and balance.
Connection / Circle
Deep Dish
Circles evoke inclusivity, community and connection. Use this shape in spaces designed to bring people together.
Consider using the Deep Dish tile in combination with flat or drop tiles to create a dynamic, geometric effect.
Collaboration / Abstract
Quad Circle
Abstract shapes convey a sense of transformation and movement. The unique shape of the individual Quad Circle can be combined to create a 4 x 4 circular shape, demonstrating how different parties come together in moments of collaboration.
The quad circle configuration is ideal for creating a focal point in areas meant for working as a group.
Rest / Organic
Linear Wave
Natural shapes reflect renewal and a sense of calm. The organic movement of the Linear Wave tile, drawn from streams or paths, lends itself to softness and gentility, ideal for spaces that promote relaxation.
Install this tile in an alternating high-low configuration, or, all in one direction for an undulating, natural effect.
Ideation / Triangle
Wedge
Triangles are dynamic and energetic, supporting spaces built for innovation and creativity.
Angled forms transform the ceiling into an architectural feature—layered, dynamic and modern.
