PresentationWHERE MODERNISM MEETS URBAN TRADITION

Balance, proportionality and dynamism. For the 21st Century Project, the City of Amsterdam incorporated a technical luminaire that was in keeping with its urban heritage, in a bid for efficiency and cutting-edge LED technology. In 2015, Amsterdam 21st Century began illuminating the most emblematic areas of the Dutch capital.

ORIGIN AND CONCEPT

The Amsterdam 21st Century series was designed by Sjoerd Hoogma (Handle with Care) and Simon Sprietsma (Simon Sprietsma architecture, public space and urban planning). The outcome is the harmonious interaction of luminaire, bracket and column. The balance between the proportions of all three elements was determined by the Golden Ratio, a measure applied in many timeless historical buildings and works of art.
The lighting fixture, arm and column are visually merged into a single element of clean lines, giving a smooth and dynamic shape. Finally, the casting process lends fluidity to the luminaire and elegance to the whole.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

The design strategy applied to the Amsterdam 21st Century series is characterized by the use of highly sustainable materials. The 100% glass natural origin makes this material fully recyclable and minimizes the environmental impact of its transformation process. The first European glass processing line powered by solar technology has substantially reduced the carbon footprint of this series. The aluminium body EN- AC- 44100 has a higher degree of purity than any aluminium injection alloy, facilitating reuse by other industrial processes in the future. Finally, following the latest revision of ISO 14001, and the implementation of the master sustainability plan, SETGA has driven the design of a long-term recycling system for each component of the Amsterdam 21st Century series.

Dimensions and installation

The Amsterdam 21st Century has a dimensions Ø500 and 160mm hight.

Its exclusive design is made to anchor with the specific arms designed for this luminaire, so that the integration is complete. There are from double brackets until facade bracket.

In order to make it more accessible to all projects recently we have designed a number of new brackets allow installation on tubular supports up to Ø60mm.
