Located in the Loire Valley, the city of Angers in the west of France in the Pays de la Loire recently under­went com­pre­hen­sive mod­erni­sa­tion. The focus of this refur­bish­ment was renewal of the light­ing along­side the River Maine. The newly designed water­front is now illu­mi­nated by Lif light columns and Olivio system lumi­naires.

The town coun­cil launched the ​“Cour de Maine” revi­tal­i­sa­tion project with the goal of turn­ing the city centre into a bustling loca­tion. In revi­tal­is­ing the city centre, the goal of the coun­cil was to enable cit­i­zens to redis­cover the river and its water­front for them­selves.

Public light­ing con­tin­ues to play an impor­tant role in urban devel­op­ment projects for it needs to be fully inte­grated into the over­all con­cept. For this reason the archi­tect and light­ing plan­ner con­cerned also placed great empha­sis on the choice of lumi­naires for this project, both in terms of style and func­tion­al­ity.

    Lif

    Cities are lively, vibrant places that are always in motion. Changes in use within communal spaces or multi-functional concepts are transforming urban spaces and with it, the requirements for lighting. As a modular system luminaire in the shape of a slim, cylindrical light column, Lif provides full freedom for the creation of light settings in urban spaces and the smart implementation of these using networked functions. More flexible than any other luminaire, it adapts itself to the widest variety of urban lighting tasks. By day, Lif occupies a reserved role in the cityscape but it is during darkness that it demonstrates its true versatility – depending on the configuration, it can be transformed into a luminaire for squares or pathways, an accent light, or even all of these at once, while at all times remaining a minimalist light column. Lighting tools like the pathway module or the Gobo projector for eyecatching projection effects expand and enhance the scope of planning. New spacer elements in four heights perfectly complement the versatile configuration options of Lif, while smart components like a loudspeaker module, camera, or WiFi element make this light column a key element in smart cities.

    Olivio

    The organic design of Olivio and its functional versatility due to the modular design of this luminaire family is inspired by role models from nature. As a result Olivio forms the basis for light concepts in urban living areas where the focus is on the well-being of people. Olivio luminaire heads are available in the sizes Grande, Medio and Piccolo and can be combined with various arms and pole types from the three design lines Sistema, Floracion and Candelabra. Yet it is not just the design that can be adapted individually according to the situation – various optics and light colours from 2,700 to 4,000 Kelvin also cater for challenging lighting tasks efficiently and without glare: from illumination of paths and squares, floodlighting of façades and accent lighting of buildings. The new Olivio Cap also reduces light scatter and for special requirements, with its camera and loudspeaker modules, Olivio can be integrated into smart application scene. The special wooden-pole aesthetic emphasizes the Olivio's high quality, organic luminaire design. Combined with luminaire heads in a harmonoius colour tone such as bronze, this results in a timelessly comforting spatial ambience.
