Coca-Cola Sofia Case Study: Refreshing Workplace Design with Acoustic Lighting

Discover how Move Architects integrated BuzziSpace acoustic lighting into Coca-Cola Europacific Partners' Sofia office to boost productivity, well-being, and brand identity.

In the bustling heart of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners’ Sofia, Bulgaria, office, a silent revolution is taking place, one that doesn't involve carbonation, but is equally refreshing. Designed in collaboration with Move Architects, the workspace incorporates hand-crafted, sustainable BuzziSpace acoustic solutions to balance open-plan collaboration with quiet concentration.

By strategically placing sound-absorbing furniture and branded acoustic lighting throughout key zones, Coca-Cola created a harmonious ecosystem where employee well-being, productivity, and brand culture flourish.

The Challenge: Curtailing Noise in Vibrant Open-Plan Layouts

In modern open-plan office layouts, striking the right balance between spontaneous group teamwork and individual focus is critical.

  • The Problem: Ambient noise pollution and voice reflections across open floors risked causing workplace distractions and cognitive fatigue.

  • The Objective: Create serene pockets of focus amidst a lively atmosphere while reinforcing Coca-Cola’s iconic brand identity with sustainable, high-performance acoustic solutions.

The Solution: Strategic Acoustic Lighting & Custom Brand Integration

Acoustic Lighting in Meeting & Brainstorming Rooms

To facilitate creative sessions without disturbing neighboring team members, Move Architects outfitted meeting spaces with sound-absorbing acoustic lighting fixtures:

  • BuzziMoon & BuzziShade Square: High-output LED fixtures encapsulated in soft acoustic felt bodies that capture rising speech reverberation directly above conference tables.

  • BuzziZepp Light: Suspended acoustic ceiling islands that offer continuous overhead sound absorption while illuminating large team tables.

Collaborative Zones with Sound-Absorbing Furniture

In high-traffic open spaces designed for spontaneous discussions and idea-sharing, localized acoustic solutions keep ambient noise under control:

  • BuzziDome: A sculptural, dome-shaped pendant light that traps sound waves within its hollow acoustic core, creating cozy micro-zones for informal huddles.

  • BuzziMono Light: Sleek, functional lighting fixtures that deliver targeted downlighting while dampening vocal frequencies across breakout zones.
