THE DESIGN AND CREATION OF VAZ™
VAZ™
CRAFTED BY CRAIG COPELAND
I started modeling the first versions of VAZ, inspired by figurative profiles that celebrate the beautiful efficiency of timeless vessels.
Each VAZ bollard is a miniature lighthouse, in form and capability.
Playfully-shaped and fully adaptable, VAZ offers broad material options that are scalable to deliver wide-ranging illumination possibilities and robust security.

Enduring materials and textures for lighting
The porcelain options provide time-tested durability along with more vivid color possibilities. The glazed surfaces deepen the refracting light and add extra sparkle, like the celebrated and enduring roof tiles adorning centuries-old temples in Kyoto.
In stone, VAZ™ bollards are contemporary takes on ancient Roman milestones that mark historic roadways in Europe and Asia, which are present, even today after thousands
of years.
The stone and porcelain options evoke nature’s enduring strength and timeless beauty, offering a meaningful connection to the natural world
