Description
Overview
Oblique is an outdoor bollard by Arik Levy within the Architectural Outdoor series. The Bollard 45, code T086200, is made of aluminium in anthracite grey and stands 450 mm high. The outer shell wraps around the lighting head to hold it in place.
Light
The slightly downward angle of the light head projects the LED light through a high-performance reflector and prevents glare. Its 20 W LED emits 1088 lm, 3000K, CRI 90, at 46% efficiency (54.40 lm/W).
Ratings
Protection is IP65.
Story
A sprouting plant and a guiding light
Oblique pairs the idea of a sprouting plant with that of a guiding light. Its angled light head pushes up and stretches the vertical stem like a bean sprout, while the outer shell holds the head in place. The design conveys two dimensions: the piece nearly disappears from some angles and gives solid support from others.
