Ginko lights the paths of the Das Haus residential quarter in Tallinn with pole-top park lighting. Each luminaire is a curved pole topped with an LED head and a metal leaf. The form takes from a ginkgo biloba beside the park, Estonia's oldest and northernmost specimen.
The IP66-rated LED fixture sits behind the metal leaf, which reflects the light down onto the path. That reflected wash lands where people walk, not scattered across the lawn. Anodized to take the weather, the pole keeps a slim profile at eye level. By day the leaf reads as sculpture, so each pole-top luminaire earns its place before dark.
With the architects at Pluss Arhitektid , we thought of the poles as landscape lighting and as markers for the quarter. As pole-top park lighting, the Ginko line lights pedestrian routes without flattening the green space around them. The curved poles and their leaves echo the ginkgo canopy overhead. Warm light settles over the walk and the lawn after dark.
Ginko belongs to un-like’s outdoor luminaires, a pole-top park luminaire specified for Das Haus and ready for other paths. Built to run for years with little upkeep, it holds its line through a Baltic winter. See more of our outdoor luminaires.
