“ We’ve created a collection that fits into
cities and towns whose architecture
has grown over the course of many,
many years. It had to feel relevant to
today, but it also had to embody that
traditional spirit, that sense of place,
that sense of history.”
—Daniel Lobitz, AIA, Partner at Robert A.M. Stern Architects
Heritage Informs a
Contemporary Spirit
In the Northport Collection, past and present, history and innovation,
shared stories and stories yet to be written all convene in harmony.
The collection evokes warm, emotional connections to communities’
roots with aesthetics and performance designed for the now.
Created in collaboration with Robert A.M. Stern Architects,
renowned authorities of Modern Traditional design, the collection
spans the breadth of Landscape Forms’ offerings. Encompassing
benches, lighting, litters, bike racks, planters and bollards,
Northport offers a modern reinterpretation of the design lexicon
that is foundational to so many traditional American towns and cities,
historical centers, and main street districts. Drawing from significant
design precedence while embracing innovative materials and
technologies, the collection serves as an elegant, authentic bridge
between traditional and contemporary architecture and makes for a
cohesive complement to other Landscape Forms and Robert A.M.
Stern Architects collections.
Preserving a Sense of Place,
Inspiring a Modern Experience
With graceful curves punctuated in softly rounded corners at the
arms and sled legs, Northport benches reimagine the appearance
of early 20th century cast iron park benches in refined aluminum and
naturally-weathering wood. Available in backed, backless and back-
to-back configurations, the versatile trio is evocative of classical
landscape architecture, but with a modern and reserved elegance
all its own. The benches can be specified with freestanding, surface,
and embedded mounting options.
Drawing inspiration from the ubiquitous acorn streetlamp, Northport
lighting merges advanced LED technology and optics with an
homage to the traditional-style lights deeply rooted in American
landscape design heritage. Rather than as a glass dome, the “acorn”
form subtly appears in the negative space between the arms at the
top of each luminaire.
Northport area lightluminaires offer clear or diffused lenses
in multiple outputs and distributions to offer pleasing, low-glare
illumination. Inside the Northport’s area lights, a LED element
mounted below the lens subtly recalls gas lamps or early filament
bulbs, inspiring nostalgic connections and reinforcing the sense
of place. Options for the Landscape Forms visual comfort and
performance light engines adapt the area light’s visual experience,
tailoring illumination to a wide range of settings and scales.
Designed for applications up to 16’, the collection’s area lights are
available in both single and double pole-mount or pendant-arm-
mount configurations.
With similar stylized acorn silhouettes, Northport path light
luminaires complement the collection’s area lights, using their
asymmetric or symmetric distributions to warmly illuminate and
extend the use of footpaths and pedestrian promenades.
Designing a Seamless Aesthetic
Reflecting the sculptural curvature of the Northport benches,
the collection’s litters, planters, and bike racks each are modern
reinterpretations of iconic early 20th century craftsmanship. Their
cast aluminum legs and frames evoke the era’s hallmark decorative
ironwork, but with the refinement, grace and visual lightness only
modern materials and techniques can achieve. Northport litters
are available in top and side opening configurations, feature large
30-gallon rotomolded bodies, and offer robust aluminum and steel
construction. Northport planters are available in small and large
sizes, also with rotomolded bodies and robust aluminum and steel
construction. With gentle curves and a subtle taper, Northport bike
racks are durable cast aluminum forms that can be embedded or
surface-mounted for security.
Northport decorative bollards frame, define and protect
installations with a handsome presence. The subtly tapered
aluminum casting complements the curvature found throughout
the collection and provides elegant cover for a robust steel
ground connection.
