Product code: ESC-BRANCA
Faceted steel columns resembling tree trunks, with adjustable linear LED luminaires.
The Branca luminaire was born in Olot (Catalonia) for the Espai Cràter project, where the urban setting recreates a natural beech forest. By day the inclined, faceted, truncated columns blend into nature like tree trunks; by night they light the space, creating the play of light and shadow typical of a landscape. The columns come with one, two or three sections, each carrying adjustable luminaires.
