The harbor service pedestal Coral is inspired by a species of coral.

This organic shape allows us to create many different configurations. Multiple service hatches and power outlets can be mounted – depending on requirments. The body of the service pedesal is made from durable plastic and is semi transparent to light. This allows us to turn this functional piece of hardware into a light fixture that adds esthetic value to the environment.

This hat-shaped light replaces the conventional lampshade with the shape of a hat that bears formal similarity. This allows functional satisfaction while guiding users to freely imagine on the basis of images associated with hats. The product was designed in an expectation that such imaginative images can generate values beyond visual aesthetics.
