Project Overview
As luxury eco-tourism grows in Nepal’s foothills, the resort’s exterior lighting presents an opportunity to merge safety, sustainability, and cultural meaning. In response, Aglo introduces a bespoke feature bollard that meets technical lighting needs while reflecting Nepal’s connection to fire and wood. Its campfire-inspired form offers warmth and security, guiding guests with minimal light spill. Built from sustainable materials and designed for easy maintenance, Aglo transforms functional lighting into a culturally rooted visual experience.
