CENTRAL METRO STATION
Stockholm, Sweden
The central station on Stockholm’s underground forms the hub of the
city’s public transport system. It has been upgraded in recent years
to allow the hundreds of thousands of commuters who use it every
day to move quickly between the three metro lines, the railway station
and the bus terminal.
The pedestrian zone that connects the different terminals looks like
the inside of a natural cave. The grey of the living rock is picked up
both in the floor and in the large, circular steel structure suspended
from the ceiling, which houses, recessed inside it, twenty-four Kleo
2.0 projectors in an anthracite finish. The lighting design, by WSP,
called for a colour temperature of 4000K and wide, 64° optics for the
projectors, to open up the underground passageway and give the
impression of greater space.
Elsewhere, the ceiling in the corridor that leads to the blue line of the
Stockholm underground system, which also has the natural look of
excavated rock, houses Kleo 2.1 projectors in a white finish, pointing
perpendicularly at the ground.
