Stockholm is a city built on islands connected by bridges and ferry lines. The new infrastructure hub, Slussen, joining the central islands of Söder and Stadsholmen (Old Town), is starting to take its final shape after a nearly decade-long renovation.
Placed in the epicentre of the scene is a new steel bridge, painted with a golden hue. This is to harmonize with the golden yellow shades of the houses in the Old Town, and the glitter of the water. To tie this extraordinary scene together, Light Bureau turned to Fagerhult for a luminaire suggestion – and found our Opalume family.
The luminaires are installed in two heights, with different light distribution, to light up both the road and the walk/cycle path. The spheric Opalume, with uplight, is mounted in crowns on five – on a 15 meter post. The luminaires are designed with a silver lining, a decorative circle to complete the aesthetical impression. The posts are future proof and delivered with Zhaga sockets, enabling coming updates and installations.
The new square Vattentorget is now open to the public. The area is free from vehicles, and instead, there is generous space for bicycles and pedestrians, along with plenty of seating and recreational areas.
The luminaires are Fagerhult’s Opalume Ovo, which adds a round and organic shape to the urban infrastructure environment. The recreational areas are close to the water, making the waters of Stockholm more accessible for residents and visitors.
Fagerhult Sweden is proud to be a part of making this significant landmark an even more memorable experience.
