Looking up at Cornflower branching poles and a City lamp against deep blue sky, the square's pole-top lighting

Ahtme Center

Cornflower is the pedestrian street lighting for Ahtme's rebuilt central square, eight poles standing twelve metres tall and inspired by Estonia's national flower. The square in Ida-Virumaa was rebuilt from the ground up, and the poles repeat at a steady interval across one wide open public space.

Cornflower is built for large open environments, and here it reads as a field of flowers on twelve-metre stems. Each pole is made from aluminium and galvanized, powder-coated steel around our own Wannabe aluminium LED profile. Adjustable joints aim each head, and DALI control dims the urban street lighting.

Cornflower was installed as part of a wider reconstruction of Ahtme’s centre, which added over six kilometres of new walkways. The eight poles carry the pedestrian lighting across the open square and its new walkways, a space with no roadway running through it.

Cornflower is part of un-like’s range, its eight heads standing over Ahtme like the flower that inspired them. See more of our outdoor luminaires.
