Replica luminaires
Karl-Marx-Allee, Berlin, Germany
After almost 60 years, 39 faithful replicas of the former East German luminaires have been restored to the urban landscape of the Karl-Marx-Allee. Their 15.5-metre hexagonal light poles are a reminder of times almost left behind. Contemporary lighting technology has brought the exceptional lighting design of the 1960s back to life.
