Story
Reducing the object, keeping the optics
Antonio Citterio's theme for Mile was to reduce the size of the object while obtaining the best possible optical performance. The work covered minimisation, high performance and the perceived quality of a perfect object.
A bollard that appears to float
The bollard has a light, rigid frame with a base that raises it off the ground, and a shutter underneath makes the unit appear to float above the floor. Its asymmetric optic directs the light downward.
