Landscape Forms, North America’s leading designer and manufacturer of high-design lighting, site furniture, structure, and accessories, proudly unveils Moment, a scalable and adaptable lighting line designed in collaboration with the celebrated design team at Yonoh Creative Studios, based in Valencia, Spain.
“This was our first outdoor lighting project and we were thrilled to partner with the experienced designers and engineers at Landscape Forms to bring it to life,” says Alex Selma, Yonoh founder and one of the lead designers on the project. “Our goal at the outset was to create an impressively modern product that would be at home in almost any setting, and I think we achieved that.”
Rooted in the elemental interplay of straight lines, perfect circles, and conical shapes, the minimalist profile of Moment finds expression in sculptural luminaires that are both artful and practical, presenting a streamlined and unadorned silhouette that effortlessly complements any public-space environment.
“Moment is a testament to the power of restraint in design,” says Landscape Forms President of Lighting Jordan Agustin. “Its reliance on basic geometries and simple forms helps to bring a sense of order and streamlined symmetry to outdoor settings, whether illuminating a main street, a bustling plaza, or lighting a path through a wooded park.”
Moment’s versatility is also expressed in the expansive range of available options. The line’s modern aesthetic carries through an array of pole height and mounting configurations, including single, paired, or staggered multiples for area and accent lighting, as well as catenary and wall-mounted designs. Beneath the sleek exterior, Moment incorporates the perfect balance of performance and visual experience options, including a wide selection of roadway and accent distribution types, up to 10,000lm delivered, a deep-set light engine, and an optional hexcell louvre that ensure precise illumination with minimal glare.
“Landscape Forms is always looking for partners that can bring a diverse perspective to our portfolio, and offer a fresh and vibrant design approach,” says Landscape Forms Director of Design Ryan Heiser. “Yonoh’s understanding of silhouette, proportion and their consideration of elegant details was a perfect fit for what we wanted to achieve.”
In adhering to a minimalist mindset, special care was taken in removing unnecessary ornament from the design. Fasteners and hardware were tightly integrated and contained in the housing, bringing a remarkable clarity and cohesiveness to every aspect of the design. “We pride ourselves on listening to the lighting community and landscape designers,” adds Ryan. “This focus on the balance of aesthetic simplicity and performance was high on the list.”
“The Moment line is designed to complement—not compete with—the environments they illuminate,” Jordan concludes. “The design elevates the spaces they occupy, and in the process creates something better, vibrant spaces made to be lived in, experienced, and enjoyed.”
