Cladding system including a flexible grid and panels
The present disclosure relates generally to cladding that forms an architectural surface, for example, suitable for forming a ceiling. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a cladding system including a plurality of flexible grid members arranged so as to form a grid that extends in at least two dimensions and includes grid cells that are delimited by the flexible grid members and a plurality of panels supported by the grid. At least a first portion of the panels are arranged so as to form an architectural surface.
Ceiling panel mounting clip
A ceiling panel mounting clip is interlocked with a second clip to mount a ceiling panel with the interlocked clips hidden from viewed from below the ceiling panel. The interlocked clips hold the ceiling panel without fasteners holding the clips together. The interlocked clips restrain movement of the ceiling panel in the lateral and downward directions. The ceiling panel mounting clip includes a base having a front end, a rear end, and lateral edges. An arm projects away from the base with the arm having a lower end, an upper end, and lateral edges. The arm defines an opening through one of its lateral edges with the arm having a lower edge, an upper edge, and a central edge that define the boundaries of the opening. A lock tab projects from an upper portion of the arm away from the opening.
Connection clip for securing a panel to a support grid
The present disclosure relates generally to a connection clip for securing a panel to a support grid, for example, suitable for securing a wood grille panel to a ceiling grid. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a connection clip including a body having a base with a width extending between opposing first and second lateral edges and first and second arms extending upward respectively from the first and second lateral edges of the base so as to form a cavity configured to receive a structural cross member of the panel. Engagement lips extend laterally inward from an upper end of each arm and are configured to grip respective first and second flanges of a grid member of the support grid so as to secure the panel to the grid member. Each of the first and second engagement lips span a substantial majority of the depth of the connection clip.
ASSEMBLIES FOR SUSPENDING CEILING PANELS
An assembly for suspending ceiling panels, having a frame and suspension members for suspending the frame from a structure, the frame having intersection members and support members extending therebetween, each support member being for supporting a respective side of the ceiling panel, and wherein the ends of the support members are configured to engage with engageable portions provided circumferentially about each of the intersection members.

Faceted architectural fixtures
A faceted architectural fixture is provided that include one or more folded elongated strips, each providing a series of alternating faceted surfaces.
Overhead grid assembly, bracket member thereof, and ceiling system including the same
An overhead grid assembly for a suspended ceiling system and a bracket member thereof. The overhead grid assembly may include first and second support members having first and second longitudinal axes that are arranged in an intersecting manner to form a grid. The bracket member may include a first part having a first channel and a second part having a second channel. The bracket member is arranged to maintain the first and second support members in a desirable orientation relative to each other. Thus, a portion of the first support member may nest within the first channel and a portion of the second support member may nest within the second channel. The first and second parts of the bracket assembly may be rotatable relative to one another to ensure that the bracket assembly can be coupled to the first and second support members regardless of their relative orientation.

Precursor for a furring channel clip, furring channel clip formed therefrom, method of making a furring channel clip, and method of mounting a furring channel to a load bearing member
Disclosed is a precursor for a clip and a clip formed by the precursor. The clip is configured for mounting a furring channel to a load-bearing member and is a generally U-shaped member having a pair of sidewalls, each of which includes a pair of tabs projecting therefrom. The clip is arranged to receive the load-bearing member between its sidewalls, such that the tabs can be snap-fit under inwardly directed flanges of the furring channel. Also disclosed is a method of forming the clip from the precursor, by bending portions of the precursor to form the sidewalls of the clip, and a method for mounting a furring channel onto a load-bearing member using the clip.
