Substantial Antler Lamps

This Roma by Light Entry Brings Organic Illumination to Urban Alleys

— November 26, 2011 — Art & Design
There is a definite aesthetic and structural archetype when it comes to streetlights, and one which this Roma by Light entry strives to evade. Designed as a submission for a competition to illuminate Rome, this concept for great glowing antlers offers great radiance and an abstraction that offsets the rigid right angles of the surrounding architecture.

Dario Cavaliere has conceived an organic arboreal shape with a tapering trunk and a pair of branchlike offshoots. A sturdy contouring structure allows both opposite flat faces of the lamppost to illuminate from base to tips with the use of LED lighting technology. It is possible from here for this Roma by Light project to take on a full spectrum of colors so that blue or green treelike street lights can bring vivid life into the sleepy city.
Trend Themes
1. Organic Streetlights - The concept of using organic and abstract shapes for street lighting can disrupt the traditional aesthetic and offer an opportunity for innovation in urban design.
2. LED Lighting Technology - The use of LED lighting technology in streetlights can drastically reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs, while providing bright and colorful illumination.
3. Vivid Illumination - The trend towards colorful and bright street lighting can create a unique visual identity for urban areas and enhance the nighttime experience for residents and visitors alike.
Industry Implications
1. Urban Design - Designers and architects can adopt the trend of using organic and abstract shapes for street lighting to create more visually appealing and functional urban spaces.
2. Lighting Technology - Lighting companies can capitalize on the trend towards LED technology for streetlights and develop more innovative solutions for energy-efficient and customizable illumination.
3. Smart Cities - The trend towards vivid and colorful street lighting can be integrated into smart city initiatives to enhance safety, improve energy efficiency, and create a unique urban identity.
