Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA – Landscape Forms, North America’s leading designer and manufacturer of high-design site furniture, structure, LED lighting and accessories, introduces the Outline family of column lights, path lights and bollards.
A modern reinterpretation of the familiar column luminaire, Outline is designed to bring greater visual interest, performance and more versatility to urban environments. Serving as performance lights, wayfinding elements or architectural details, Outline luminaires communicate refinement and elegance with the robustness required for high-profile public space.
“Outline leans in to one of the many things that makes Landscape Forms unique, which is our craft-based approach to manufacturing,” says Landscape Forms President of Lighting, Jordan Agustin. “There are other solutions that can provide quality illumination, but Outline’s performance in combination with its exceptional design and manufacturing – its elegant curves, its seamless transitions between surfaces – is Landscape Forms on full display.”
Grouped into sculptural clusters of different heights, defining space throughout parks and public plazas, or lighting the way along pedestrian paths, Outline makes a modern and approachable statement in a robust, meticulously crafted, and public space-ready form factor. “Outline has notes of the original, familiar light column, but it brings our own modern twist,” describes Landscape Forms Director of Design, Ryan Heiser. “It’s clean, minimalist and rather inconspicuous from afar, but when you take notice and appreciate the craft in the details, it becomes really beautiful.”
The family includes 12’ and 10’ column lights, a 4’ path light and a 4’ unlit bollard. Each features three sculptural arms that emerge seamlessly from the element’s base. When lit, light is cast downward along the arms to create an alluring ground pattern and poetic interplay between illumination, shadow, object and surroundings. In the pedestrian-scale column lights, high angle glare is eliminated (G-0), enhancing the safety and visual experience of urban outdoor space. In the path light, directed optic design provides superior visibility and confidently extends the usability of outdoor space. Each Outline element Outline features a seamless transition between luminaire and ground plane, firmly anchored with no base cover or part lines.
“Outline is true to the Landscape Forms story,” continues Jordan Agustin. “It represents our focus on activating outdoor space within the context of urban settings, ensuring settings like plazas, parklets and downtown corridors – these places of respite in our busy lives – can be well lit in a human-focused, pedestrian-centric way."
