French lighting company Beau & Bien has designed a stunning piece of outdoor furniture that has been appropriately dubbed The Urban Tree of Lights Collection. Especially perfect for public spaces, it combines a bench with a unique lamp fixture that not only sheds a vibrant glow, but also provides a bit of shelter. Taking on the shape of a large disc, the light is held up in a series of branching arms.
Beau & Bien created three different versions of The Urban Tree of Lights: Zeste (steel), Smile (fiberglass) and Union (fiberglass/teak or concrete/wood). These options make them perfectly suited to just about any space. Beau & Bien even added a special touch, the base acts as a WiFi hotspot.
