B.Lux’s brand new street light


'topa' by spanish lighting producer B.Lux

B.Lux’s brand new street light.

topa is a new type of urban / street lighting which, monolithic and boasting sharp, architectural lines, manufactured by spanish lighting company B.Lux.

it’s made of a metallic prism which creates a light-filled hollow and projects a beam of light outwards
(so the light doesn’t shine in all directions). it was designed by the architects GC studio whose aim
was to create a pleasing effect of light and shade in street settings –
and enhance a sense of wellbeing in urban environments.

made of galvanised steel, although also available with a painted surface, it’s extremely resistant to weathering.
and its neutral style means that it suits all types of contemporary architecture.

topa has already been used for a new re-housing development in north spain’s basque country,
which makes use of several versions of the new light.

I saw something similar in rome, but this lamp is more abstract, really nice and the light is not invasive.
