Situated in the centre of Sergels Torg, Stockholm’s most central public square, is the 37-metre-tall glass obelisk sculpture. The centre-piece was first officially created in 1974, facing many technical issues throughout the years trying to deliver visual output. Finally lighting designer Michael Hallbert and winner of Sweden’s Lighting Prize of the year came to a conclusion of how to overcome this issue, with the support of Pharos Controls
