A revolutionary process of producing and welding stainless steel enables the introduction of these maintenance-free light poles for highway and road use. Extremely lightweight, the poles are designed to be easily visible and flex easily in case of impact. The client, a producer of steel, sought to develop the line of stainless-steel structures as a way to reduce the dependent role of supplier.

"This is an excellent example of bridging utility with sculpture and economy with elegance." -Jane Langmuir, IDSA
