Luminaires and site furnishings for a holistic design of urban spaces
The product highlights displayed at the exhibition stand fully reflect the company's motto "Hess - We design cities" and are characterised by a successful blend of timeless design, traditional craftsmanship, and the most innovative LED technology carrying the Hess stamp of quality - Quality "Made in Germany". The perfect combination of luminaires and site furnishings, which also characterises the VAREDO collection, allows the implementation of holistic concepts when designing open spaces.
VAREDO - The most diverse uniformity ever
With VAREDO, designed by French designer Jean-Marc Schneider, Hess created a new generation of luminaires and site furnishings that gives lighting designers and landscape architects maximum freedom when designing urban spaces. The VAREDO family stands out by its unique expression of design, feel, and workmanship. It comprises outdoor lighting, illuminating and barrier bollards, a bench in diverse variants, bicycle racks and waste receptacles. This allows the implementation of holistic design solutions for public spaces and varying functional requirements.
AVANGARDO 2 - The new number 1
The AVANGARDO 2 line is predestined for holistic lighting concepts: These products for applications around the house are characterised by their lasting quality, durability, reliability and state-of-the-art LED technology. The luminaire families consist of several product groups, for example in-ground and wall luminaires or illuminating bollards with uniform design elements. Whether for a historical or modern environment - with their timeless expression of design the luminaires fit harmoniously into any ambience and thanks to their elegant daytime effect become an eye-catcher themselves.
In addition to a selection of VAREDO and AVANGARDO 2 products, Hess also presents the technically further developed and multifunctional CITY ELEMENTS illuminating column as well as high quality site furnishings.
CITY ELEMENTS - Multi-functionality at its best
The modular illuminating column - CITY ELEMENTS - offers far more functionalities than only illumination. These multifunctional columns with individually combinable separate elements are available with the most innovative LED technology (XICATO inside). Diverse additional functions and supply solutions for inner-city requirements such as for example electricity and water supply, for the installation of a camera with WLAN transmission to a mobile device or for attractive light projections to façades make these columns particularly attractive.
SITE FURNISHINGS - Aesthetics and function
Site furnishing products by Hess, such as the displayed SERPO tree grate and the FANO tree guard, are designed with the toughest conditions in mind and at the same time fulfil the highest design requirements. The use of high-quality materials gives the products a unique finish. Sophisticated processing techniques emphasise this high quality and ensure the best possible resistance to weather conditions and corrosion.
In addition to the displayed products, our visitors may expect a special treat at the Hess exhibition stand. There is a prize draw to win not one, but ten VAREDO S luminaires. With a little luck, new lighting for an entire street could be won.
Creating an architects and planners network
To strengthen contacts to architects and planners Hess is working hard to create a global network for this target group. To achieve this, appropriately qualified personnel was employed in the last few weeks and months. Anthony Garcia, for example, is responsible for the French market.
