K-array expands R&D department and upgrades offices

K-array has announced the expansion and renovation of both its Italian and USA headquarters. These facilities feature the latest Kscape Rail and Rail S technology. At the Italian headquarters, nestled in the heart of the Tuscan countryside just outside of Florence, the upgrade was focused on the brand’s R&D, Software, Mechanical, Electrical and Audio Research departments.

The new pavilion, comprised of two floors, has been completely renovated to encompass the expansion of the growing departments, with wood furnishings crafted by local artisans. Furthermore, the new offices are designed in line with the company’s main pavilion and overall aesthetic signature.

Whilst the ground floor is dedicated to a series of R&D testing rooms, upstairs offers an expansive office space, with Rail S, the latest product release from the K-array group’s Kscape brand, across multiple zones. Firstly, Rail S with Opal optics illuminates the stair area providing soft lighting with an installation that includes hidden steel structures for easy maintenance. At the top of the stairs, the first floor includes a seating and bar area with tunable Rail S fixtures, deployed in an L-shape to provide a design feature as well as background audio and lighting.

Through the Rail S integration with Casambi, automatic lighting colour adjustments are programmed to sync with the natural rhythms of daylight. The Rail S fixtures are connected to an in-ceiling compact K-array Rumble subwoofer, whilst seamless automation through a KNX control system allows for automation of blinds and sensors from custom-designed touch panels.

Other products include ceiling-mounted white Rail S fixtures in the Chief R&D Office and four black Rail S fixtures with individual Casambi-controlled projectors in the R&D meeting room. Here, the adjustable projector lights illuminate a 6-metre-long wall displaying K-array prototypes from across the decades, representing the use-case of Rail S with projectors in gallery or museum settings.

Meanwhile, K-array USA headquarters in Massachusetts have also undergone a significant transformation, doubling its workspace to accommodate the growing team and business demands. The new facility features a demo room with exposed industrial ceilings, a conference room with glass doors, an expanded warehouse and four new office spaces.

This expansion allows K-array USA to offer a comprehensive “K-Experience” for visiting clients, and a space to showcase the full potential of the K-array, Kscape and Kgear ecosystems. The facility is equipped with various K-array group products, including Kscape Rail, which provides lighting and audio in the conference room and an eye-catching design feature in the reception area.
