Street lamps have always been the underdogs, I’d say, in the sense that we never really care to notice or acknowledge their existence, let alone appreciating their body and design work. Onur Cobanli has thought out of the box with his very cool looking upgraded version of the usually boring street lamps. The ‘Crane’ street lamps draw a beautiful inspiration from the bird crane itself and so the body does resemble a little with the bird. To be more frank, to me it resembles the Indian Cobra more than anything else. But otherwise, it is a very differently thought idea for a lamp and will definitely make people stand and admire the design. The best part is that thought the body is made of metal, the lamp has solar panels to draw energy from the sun. More than being just a street light, this design gives a taste and flavor to the street altogether.
