Entry DescriptionThe Kujo street lights collection redefines outdoor illumination through a fusion of modern minimalism and architectural grandeur. With its cylindrical form, Kujo offers a lighting solution that is as visually striking as it is functional, becoming a prominent feature in both public and private landscapes.
At the heart of Kujo's design is its long, cylindrical opaline diffuser, serving as the main light source. This diffuser creates a soft, enveloping glow that enhances the atmosphere of any space, while its classic shape brings a sense of permanence and solidity. In contrast to many lighting fixtures that fade into the background, Kujo’s light body is treated as a key architectural element. Its bold, volumetric presence makes it not just a source of light, but a sculptural feature in its own right.
Complementing the main diffuser is a secondary light source located at the base of the fixture. This downlight emits a focused, gentle pool of light, ideal for guiding pathways or highlighting specific features in the surrounding environment. The dual-lighting design provides flexibility in creating layered lighting effects—perfect for crafting atmospheres that balance both functional illumination and aesthetic appeal.
Sustainability ApproachKujo is engineered for sustainability, combining energy-efficient LED technology with a long 50,000-hour lifespan. These fixtures significantly reduce energy consumption—by up to 80% compared to traditional solutions—resulting in lower carbon emissions and operational costs. Made of recyclable materials, offering a low-impact, high-performance solution for modern street lighting needs.
