Outdoor luminaires out of natural wood, which change with the passing of time
Vendredis is a group of designers who create outdoor luminaires out of non-treated wood, so that the material is transformed and blends in with the natural environment.
Three forms of canes have been designed to look like a group of branches. The chosen material is Robinia wood, which comes from North America and has been introduced in France in 1601 by the botanist Jean Robin: plant of the locust tree family, It has considerable resistance and its wood is imperishable. The oldest tree of Paris, is a Robinia tree, located in the Viviani square in front of the Cathedral Notre Dame.
The luminaires are fixed on a triangular base that allow an infinite choice composition options. Different heights are available: 120, 90 or 60cm, and the canes may be installed on their own or by group of three, as the waterproof transformer can be shared between three lamps. The resined LED brow lamp is integrated in the 4cm square cane. The dimension of the lamp is 40cm for the two long canes and 10cm for the short one. The foots are of Corten steel, so that the outdoor luminaires can be installed in a garden, in a park and even the foot in the water.
