Description
Overview
Palosanto Bollard is an outdoor bollard lamp by Christophe Mathieu, 2023. A spotlight can be placed at the chosen height along the stem, so that the position of the light adapts to the growth of the surrounding vegetation.
Construction
- Structure and diffuser of aluminium
- LED included; the 24 V remote power supply is a separate purchase
- IP65; dimming depends on the supply chosen
Specifications
- 60 cm high, on a base 11 cm in diameter (Palosanto B 5/60), with a 2.5 m cable
Story
A spotlight on a stem
The spotlight of this bollard lamp turns by hand through as much as 360 degrees while the cable stays fully visible, an aesthetic detail that leaves the height and direction of the light to be chosen. A honeycomb grille captures peripheral light and prevents glare.
Light released through the back
Part of the light is reflected and released through the back of the lamp, gently illuminating the body of the diffuser and forming a decorative halo.
