CURVES AND LIGHT
Designed by Jordi Henrich and Olga Tarrasó further to the redevelopment of public lighting in the city of Barcelona, the Hernandez/Fernandez ensembles have been developed based on an optical compartment that conducts light. Different models of lighting columns - made of Corten steel - are available.
The height and inclination of the model selected will vary depending on the site to be illuminated (pedestrian zone, intersection, etc.).
The design of the lighting column and the principle of light conduction are the factors that confer on the ensemble a remarkable harmony of shapes and light effects.
The Hernandez model is based on a light-conducting optical compartment 3.90 metres in length with an inclination of 20°.
There is also a Hernandez Mini with the same length but with an inclination of 25°. The Fernandez model is based on an optical compartment of 3.90 metres with an inclination of 50°.
Also available in the Fernandez Mini version (length 2.50 m) with an inclination of 15°.
Finish: Corten steel
Hot galvanised steel finish on request |
DISTRIBUTES AND CONDUCTS LIGHT
The principle of the optical compartment is founded on the conduction of light by means of an easily accessible single source. The luminous flux is directed by a reflector all the way along the box, which is called the light distributor, before traversing the prisms of the refractor in the direction of the zone to be illuminated.
This principle of lighting is characterised by a beautiful uniformity of light over the entire surface of the refractor and by true visual comfort. |
