Atmospheric Lighting at Human Scale
Standing at 5 meters tall, the Branca P - Corten Effect is the most intimate model within the Branca family. The mast, gently leaning over the path at an 86-degree angle, is designed to guide pedestrian routes and residential zones without overwhelming the surroundings. The design breaks away from the rigid, vertical lines of traditional lampposts, introducing an organic, 'tree-like' structure to the streetscape.
Aesthetics of Rust, Quality of Coating
This version offers the best of both worlds: the visual warmth of Cor-Ten steel and the technical advantages of powder-coated galvanized steel. The high-quality coating mimics the characteristic rust color but prevents oxidation runoff on the pavement, which can be a challenge with real Cor-Ten steel. Weighing 104 kg, this variant is lighter than the solid steel version, yet extremely weather-resistant thanks to the protective zinc layer and coating.
Integrated Visual Comfort
The luminaire is seamlessly recessed into the mast profile, making the light source invisible during the day. At night, the linear LED module (available in 3000K or 4000K) provides a diffuse and comfortable light that enhances safety without causing light pollution. The positioning of the light source ensures optimal distribution on the ground level.
Harmony in Modularity
While the Branca P functions perfectly as a solitary element, the design's strength is fully realized when combined with the larger M and G models. By mixing different heights and angles, landscape architects can create a rhythmic 'light forest' that feels natural in parks and urban green zones.
