The Swedish town of Nor­rtälje on the Baltic Sea was founded in 1622 by King Gustav II Adolf and is located around 70 kilo­me­tres north of Stock­holm. For Norrtälje’s har­bour, the munic­i­pal coun­cil wanted a new light­ing con­cept devel­oped.

As a solu­tion, the land­scape archi­tects von Syd­väst arkitek­tur & land­skap AB and light­ing designer Frida Nord­mark from the Light Bureau in Copen­hagen came up with the idea of a warm, low light­ing point that was rem­i­nis­cent of the light from a his­tor­i­cal ship’s lantern. The light­ing con­cept was imple­mented using Selux Elo bol­lards.

Elo’s min­i­mal­ist design lan­guage blends in har­mo­niously with the mar­itime style of the sur­round­ing land­scape. The bol­lards are 800 mm high and fitted with a gold ver­sion of the double Tritec module. This module and the light colour used of 2700 Kelvin not only ensure safety and effec­tive ori­en­ta­tion but warm light­ing of Nor­rtälje harbour’s sur­round­ing area.

  • First came bollards, columns, and wall-mounted luminaires, then there were Elo pole-mounted luminaires. Currently, the Elo family is a holistic system for pure light around buildings. Selux is now adding a pole-mounted luminaire design variant with a circular roof to lend it a classical form, further enabling lighting applications close to buildings from a single system. Whether used for footpaths, entrance areas, or local roads, Elo will emit light that is harmonious in any situation, serving as an elegant beacon to provide security and guidance. Besides the high-quality light and efficiency of the Tritec optic, the design of these slim, cylindrical luminaires never fails to impress aesthetically. The minimalist design language blends graciously into the widest variety of styles and architectural surroundings, while still being capable of setting intensive highlights. Premium-quality materials and durable finishes ensure the Tritec optics’ attractive appearance is preserved for the long term.
