OUTDOOR | SLV RUSTY®
Why have you chosen the
RUSTY® series?
I knew of the RUSTY® series before I
heard about SLV. In fact, the RUSTY®
SQUARE can be found in the sample
garden of the building materials store
where we purchased our house-
building materials. I noticed it right
away, thanks to its rust effect – a long
time before rust made the transition
from unwanted side-effect to design
trend. Even back then I found it very
attractive and unusual. At the time,
my garden plans were still a long way
off, but I kept it in the back of my
mind. And when the time finally came,
the question of the right floor lighting
had already been resolved for me.
So you orientated your light
planning to the RUSTY®?
As the RUSTY® matched our personal
tastes anyway, the style automatically
harmonised with our planning and
designs. From the outset, we wanted
to work with warm contrasts. Cream
and yellow tones were the first things
we decided on, and terracotta tones
automatically stood out as a form
of differentiation. So the jump to
a rust-effect wasn’t a very big one.
We had originally planned on using
the RUSTY ® SQUARE. We actually
only turned to the RUSTY® CONE on
the advice of a colleague.
How did this happen?
In our garden the RUSTY® floor lights
were supposed to fulfil different
functions. At the edge of the path we
wanted them to provide orientation
and illuminate a safe route through
the garden. But this wasn’t particularly
important for our seating arbour.
Here, we wanted them to help create
a cosy atmosphere for a relaxed end
to the day. The RUSTY® CONE of ered
the best lighting for this special purpose
in our garden. The decision was not
so easy to make, however, because
the RUSTY® SQUARE created a very
beautiful lighting effect, especially on
the wicker beach chair – just different.
But since we have a lot of soft and
round elements in the garden
anyway, in the end we decided on
the RUSTY® CONE.
