Design - A Coruña, Galicia, Spain
The movement involves relaxation. The initiatives stem from rest and, filled, looking for a moment of reflection on what has been done before getting back on track.Getting in and out is the pedal that keeps the city running, stopping, just another way forward. Benches, tables, chairs... elements of physical rest and mental gymnastics. Think, look to the horizon or children playing. Find a friend, read a book, talk and love. Give a baby snack. Enjoy the moment. Glimpse of the future.Small islands of calm designed to raise a doubt. Metal, wood, glass, concrete... Hardness? Perhaps the old couch is not as comfortable as we thought.A city is also defined by its nights, the moment at which it stretches and prepares to speak with the stars. Pure functionality, without artificial light the cities would give up existing at dusk. Vocation of style, lampposts, street lights, beacons ...the earrings that the city chooses when it decides to put on an evening dress.When we switch on, the astonishment of the first fire renews.We gain the night and keep at bay real or imaginary threats. That tool multiplied our time and our existence. To overcome the dark shows our capacity to impose us over adverse conditions. The light made us humans.Make the day last longer, mix up colours and intensities, create warm atmospheres in spite of the climate or the station. And to do it with a sustainable consumption of energy and respecting what we have learned on light pollution. To see, not to be blind.Urban Square Ligthing & Furniture
