Firefly Bollard

“Linnaea Tillett…created bronze “firefly lights” to tuck among the plants, illuminating the grove for evening strolls.” –The New York Times

Originally developed with Louis Poulsen for the Battery Bosque (New York, NY), firefly bollards animate the night and serve as friendly invitations to garden rooms and secondary paths, illuminating low-level plantings and giving dimension to overhead trees. 

A second generation of firefly bollards was developed with Cole Lighting with a slimmer form factor and has illuminated multiple outdoor public spaces, including Waterloo Park and Drexel University. A third generation is currently in development.
