Comic turn

摘要

Montreal decided to get a bit more creative with the winter lights along one of its key thoroughfares, Avenue du Mont-Royal, and in 2012 the Development Corporation of Mount Royal Avenue held a competition to stir up some new series of comic-book inspired LED fittings called Idea-O-Rama by creative studio Turn Me On Design. The street lamps are shaped like speech balloons and feature quirky cartoon characters. Attached to the existing columns, the fittings are colour-changing and visible throughout the day. The display plates can be easily changed, so the lamps could be adapted according to the season or event. Makes a change from snowflakes.
