The project
The FreeStreet lighting system puts an end to the traditional lamp posts along streets and instead is a series of Leds suspended from thin cables that are barely visible during the day.

Committee
The Philips FreeStreet LED lighting system no longer uses obstacle-like streetlight poles but elegant cables that are hardly visible. The result is that the slim, cocoon-like light fittings seem to float in the air freely.
