City lighting and street furniture
Introduction
GHM has been dedicated to providing urban fixtures since 1840 - with a passion.
Over the years, the company has acquired a unique combination of skills and methods
oriented to the design and manufacture of lighting fixtures and street furniture.
As well as expertise in metallurgy in all its aspects (smelting, metalsmithing, machining,
finishing, etc.) there is a recognised optical expertise, leading to the creation of quality
fittings.
We have 800 employees in four different factories in France, every day producing fixtures
used by people in cities across the world: hundreds of references attest to this.
Designers, architects, town planners and community decision makers recognise the
uniqueness of GHM and its solutions and rely on its skills every day.
This publication only gives a partial overview of the solutions designed by GHM, and is only
intended to illustrate the variety of its ranges.
Do not hesitate to contact your company representatives. They will be happy to guide you
through the wide choice of GHM products.

Lines
The concept of GHM’s different lines provides a coherent response to urban problems in terms of
lighting and furniture. Created by talented designers, 16 different ranges (only eight of which are
shown here) offer visually homogeneous lighting, lampposts, benches, bins, fences, posts, bollards, etc.
In a sometimes dispersed urban world, each GHM, line brings a sense of belonging and consistency,
bringing a single identity and distilling a message of newfound unity and caring continuity.
KEO line
design : Michel Tortel
The KEO line brings in a new, modern and convivial rhythm; the eye is drawn
and seduced by the soft sequence of its volumes and twists, both a refrain
and the promise of new city-based comfort.
KEA line
design : Michel Tortel
The KEA line creates a new urban concept to the city environment, in
which geometry rhymes with simplicity; its patterns, decorative and aerial
chequerboards, evoke the poetry of repetition, and echo the contemporary
perspectives of cities and districts.

IXEA line
design : Michel Tortel
The IXEA line is the successful result of contemporary urban trends: modern
lines, elegant textures and volumes, the modularity and integration of the
street lighting partake of a well inspired synthesis.
PIXEL line
design : STOA Architecture
The PIXEL line combines the quality of today’s street furniture: classic
and minimal, like a pixel, a basic unit and elementary particle, solid but
decorative through the subtle combination of cast iron and wood.
Lines
VENGO-VENGA line
The VENGO-VENGA line plays the French-style high-end card. The subtle
play of patterns and textures, elegantly produced using the same material,
are inspired by the finish and seduction of haute couture, while cast iron
gives this street furniture perfect strength.
FESTONE line
The FESTONE line gives a new movement in an urban context, its shapes
suggest energy, lightness and elegance. The cast iron brings its plasticity
- but also its solidity - to this updated vision of street furniture mixing
together dynamism, modernity and wisdom.

BELL’ ORA line
design : Integral Ruedi Baur
The BELL’ORA line stands out with its both fun and reasonable design.
FLORE line
design : Françoise Persouyre
The FLORE line causes instant well-being in city-dwellers through its
benevolent suggestions of vegetation.

Linked to urban lighting, current trends often tend towards momentum and the simplicity
of the lines. Some urban contexts conversely evoke a soul with a past dear to the heart
of the city’s residents. Finally, other situations require a custom approach, bringing
more up-to-date messages.
Cast iron and its unlimited plastic variations lend themselves to all these requests and
the contemporary cast iron lighting solution programme designed by GHM is absolutely
unique.
However, steel brackets constitute the majority of GHM’s production, and continuous
research leads to a wide choice of contemporary packages responding to the architectural
trends of the moment.

Finally, GHM offers a variety of light fittings - for the most part LED. These light fittings
complete its range, ensuring the aesthetic consistency of a group and very up-to-date
levels of technical performance.

Contemporary street furniture
GHM‘s contemporary street furniture meets modern expectations:
- each street and each square is unique - choosing street furniture in the appropriate style thus
helps bring ambient harmony. In this area, the scope of the range developed by GHM is the urban
planner’s best ally, ranging from the sober to ultra-contemporary lines.
- the quality is self-evident, if not now then at least in the future, especially for furniture with a
strong tactile and visual dimension - GHM’s solutions are designed and manufactured to do their
job reliably.
- finally, the city and its needs evolve and GHM is committed to designing appropriate solutions:
perch-type benches, low benches, individual seats, anti-vandal equipment, extensive customisation,
etc. as many answers as GHM suggests for questions from today’s planners.

Efficiency and reliability are the key words in functional lighting.
Integrated design and manufacturing methods bring together materials control and photometric
competence, and ensure the production of equipment satisfying users’ long-term expectations.
The combination of these methods allow comprehensive solutions to be offered, combining support and
lighting, in particular for very tall applications.

Style never goes out of fashion, so GHM light fittings illuminate prestigious sites such as simple
alleyways and give them this emotion, unchanging over the years, which becomes an indispensable
landmark to city residents.
And these familiar silhouettes pass through the ages by always combining form with the most
current technologies and performance (LED lighting in particular).

175 years of history spent promoting «Art in the city» is a great complete heritage
available for planners and architects to make use of.
This way GHM ensures continuity in time and in spirit, whenever the context requires
a stylish solution.
This ability to click the right button, so as to arouse the soul of the city, is expressed
through broad projects (monumental squares, fountains) or isolated schemes (village
squares). Listed sites in particular require special treatment which GHM’s solutions
satisfy in all respects.

Cast iron, applied to the poles supporting tram wires, brings decisive advantages:
- the plasticity of the material facilitates the variations to shapes and textures sought by designers, architects and
contractors.
- the ability to adjust the thickness of the walls leads to a reduction in the diameter of the masts, thus limiting the
ground footprint and blocking the view as little as possible.
- cast iron allows elegant and discreet integration of accessories (cantilever ties, extensions for lighting, etc.) bringing
a lightness to the fittings which is appreciated in urban contexts.
- finally, the spheroidal graphite cast iron used in the manufacture of these masts ensures robust long-term strength.

French and foreign cities, and also a multitude of towns and villages of all sizes have had GHM fixtures
installed for a long time.
Among the most famous in France include the illuminations of the Champs Elysees, the Guimard metro
entrances and the Wallace fountains, and also the Paris Périphérique, the lighting on the Canebière in
Marseilles, the tram system in Lyon (masts, lighting, street furniture), plus Bordeaux and Dijon.
There are many export successes: the cities of Rome (100,000 light sources), Brussels, Amsterdam,
Stockholm and, further away, Rabat, Baku, Kuala Lumpur and Canberra all trust our products.
