The management of
renewable energies is at
the heart of Fonroche Lighting’s mission.
Following the deployment of its first product,
the brand wanted to take a step forward by
improving the integration and quality of
its range of lanterns. The research focused on
the historical and cultural heritage of urban
lighting in order to tell a new story to inhabitants.
At the crossroads of heritage
and modernity
The “Belle Époque” lantern defines the new stylistic
direction of Fonroche Lighting for residential areas.
The 4 arches and the wide butt section are
inherited from the architectural heritage.
The smooth surfaces intersect to form sharp edges
which, coupled with the lacquered aluminium,
create a light and reassuring volume.
A strong attention is paid to assembly in
order to use the junctions of parts
as details, adding a minimalist aesthetic.
In view of the different challenges of
our client, we have opted for a large
series manufacturing process.
Aluminum pressure casting, despite high
tooling costs, allows high production rates
over the years and low prices per part.
