The Swedish town of Nor­rtälje on the Baltic Sea was founded in 1622 by King Gustav II Adolf and is located around 70 kilo­me­tres north of Stock­holm. For Norrtälje’s har­bour, the munic­i­pal coun­cil wanted a new light­ing con­cept devel­oped.

As a solu­tion, the land­scape archi­tects von Syd­väst arkitek­tur & land­skap AB and light­ing designer Frida Nord­mark from the Light Bureau in Copen­hagen came up with the idea of a warm, low light­ing point that was rem­i­nis­cent of the light from a his­tor­i­cal ship’s lantern. The light­ing con­cept was imple­mented using Selux Elo bol­lards.

Elo’s min­i­mal­ist design lan­guage blends in har­mo­niously with the mar­itime style of the sur­round­ing land­scape. The bol­lards are 800 mm high and fitted with a gold ver­sion of the double Tritec module. This module and the light colour used of 2700 Kelvin not only ensure safety and effec­tive ori­en­ta­tion but warm light­ing of Nor­rtälje harbour’s sur­round­ing area.
