How can an urban dis­trict be revi­tal­ized by upgrad­ing its exte­rior light­ing? This was the ques­tion Cannes City Coun­cil asked them­selves with the goal of making the dis­trict of La Bocca in the heart of the city attrac­tive for vis­i­tors and locals again. Now the light of the Olivio lumi­naires too in this newly illu­mi­nated dis­trict not only pro­vide secu­rity and well-being but attrac­tive­ness too.
 

For uni­form illu­mi­na­tion of the var­i­ous public areas in the dis­trict such as squares, boule­vards, alleys or shop­ping streets, the city of Cannes opted for Flo­racion poles of dif­fer­ent heights, fitted with Olivio lumi­naires. This has resulted in effi­cient and impres­sive light­ing that is ideal for all the dif­fer­ent light­ing tasks. The multi-func­tion­al­ity of the Olivio lumi­naire family has meant cam­eras for video sur­veil­lance, loud­speak­ers, brack­ets for adver­tis­ing ban­ners or even gobo pro­jec­tors can be inte­grated into the poles.

Olivio system poles of dif­fer­ent heights have been erected in dis­trict of La Bocca. The plan­ners exploited the ver­sa­til­ity of this lumi­naire family with regards to the posi­tions of the lumi­naire heads and colour com­bi­na­tions for lumi­naire, pole and inlay, with lumi­naire heads arranged indi­vid­u­ally around the pole – in accor­dance with the light­ing con­cept. As a result, unique lumi­naire con­fig­u­ra­tions have been cre­ated that ensure attrac­tive accents are set by night in this urban envi­ron­ment. By day too, the Olivio lumi­naires har­mo­niously blend into their sur­round­ings in this urban space like reserved sculp­tures.

  • 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.
