Over the years, the Place de la Répu­bli­que has been tran­sfor­med into a major Pari­sian cros­sroads, the day-to-day life of which is defi­ned by the con­stant pre­sence of cars. Con­se­quen­tly in 2008, the Pari­sian Muni­ci­pal Autho­ri­ties announ­ced a pro­ject for ren­de­ring the square a more attrac­tive loca­tion for pede­strians and for enhan­cing the monu­ments around the square. The resul­tant lighting con­cept has been deve­lo­ped by Yann Ker­salé from AIK. The light is desi­gned to fulfil two func­tions in this new public space: lighting of roads for cars and the deve­lo­p­ment of pede­stria­ni­zed areas.

Here, Selux Olivio lumi­nai­res are atta­ched on 16.5 metre high poles tape­ring off to a point at the top. These pro­duce a com­for­ta­ble white light for pede­strians or an orange light for the road­ways. The poles on the north-eastern side of the square are equip­ped with acou­stic signals and LED screens, which display an ever-chan­ging meta­mor­pho­sis of abstract light. The green area in the middle of the square is lit using Olivio Can­de­la­bra lumi­nai­res. These gua­ran­tee a high level of visi­bi­lity for pede­strians, cyclists and moto­rists, even at night time. The light con­cept by Yann Ker­salé gua­ran­tees visual com­fort, ele­gance and safety while taking into con­si­de­ra­tion the light design goals of the Pari­sian Muni­ci­pal Autho­ri­ties.
