Design by: Ramon Forcada
NEO PRISMA is a lighting system for public spaces. It has a slender prismatic geometry that surges upwards, accentuating verticality. It is presented in three different versions with distinctive material finishes, extending and diversifying the options for choosing and integrating the most suitable model into the urban landscape.
The NEO PRISMA columns are manufactured in three different heights: PRISMA 420, PRISMA 320 and PRISMA 100, with three choices of materials: cast stone, wood and steel. The granite grey reinforced cast stone is acid-edged and waterproofed; the Nordic pinewood is autoclaved and protected with fungicide, and the steel is zinc-clad and treated with baked-on paint to produce a "COR-TEN" effect. All models have the same square section measuring 16cm per side. They are embedded and anchored beneath the pavement with an anchorage plate in the concrete footing.
Architect Ramón Forcada designed the cast stone PRISM model in conjunction with Escofet in 1991. It was subsequently extended to include the wood and steel models. The updated electronic equipment installed in 2002 was given the current name, Neo-Prisma.
