Philosophy

The urban fabric is made up of a multitude of spaces, periods, geometries and different atmospheres. These living spaces are not only juxtaposed, they can also at times become entangled. It is this complexity that constitutes our cities, our communities. The need to develop coherent urban furniture, designed on this scale, then becomes clear. Our ranges have been developed with this in mind. They offer, each in a unique formal register, the widest possible range of products, to meet the different dimensions of spaces and different technical needs. The formal codes around which they develop are tools of expression allowing design teams and project owners to work on their project in detail, as much as possible in symbiosis with the spirit of the place and according to the following principles:

As opposed to an approach restricted to the use of a single material, or that of a limited vision as to the function of urban lighting furniture, Mixity opens up a field of discoveries and unparalleled solutions. Valmont develops this concept of Mixedness every day, particularly with regard to Materials, Atmospheres and Skills.

Industrial Design is today one of the major disciplines in the Creation of Urban Lighting Furniture. It all starts on a blank sheet of paper, with the outline of an industrializable concept, carrying a symbol, a story but also a function. This exercise is rarely improvised, the difficulty is to create coherent balances of shapes and materials, responding to a function, best promoting the different materials for their technical and aesthetic qualities. Today, there is an entire Team of Multicultural Designers whose vocation is to listen to project managers to develop existing Collections and create Unique Solutions every day together.

Between Creation and Production, each lighting furniture is systematically developed and evaluated with regard to aesthetic, technical, economic and environmental criteria.
