Greenway
Alex Fitzpatrick
Concept Statement:
Supernovae stand out in the sky like cosmic beacons, which scientists use to measure distance in space. Lighthouses play a similar guiding function on earth, providing signals by which sailors can safely navigate and explore.
Lighthouses are the guiding inspiration for the Greenway family of lighting. Created to pay homage and reflect the qualities of one of Australia’s oldest architectural landmarks, Macquarie Lighthouse, this collection draws on the attributes of Sydney’s lighthouses both formally and functionally. Customisable and interchangeable, the Greenway luminaires are available in a vast array of shapes and sizes, depending on the environment they will be illuminating – just like actual lighthouses.
Employing the modular and flexible ideals of globeless LED technology, Greenway is a light fitting for the sustainably minded, and those who appreciate the sturdy and elegant qualities of brass and handblown glass.
