The complex solution created within the architectural design of the main square of Jõhvi (Architecture Bureau Luhse & Tuhal AB) for both the seats and park lighting is inspired by a word-game in the Estonian language – a resident of Jõhvi is called a jõhvikas, i.e. a cranberry. The benches are inspired by the shape of the berry and the park lighting by the plant itself. Park lighting is based on lamps with metal reflector surfaces. These lamps are composed of a three-pointed branch, at the ends of which there are red spherical volumes made of PE. Each of them contains a small 75W HIT projector with a symmetrical light shaft which, together with oval reflector surfaces, ensures a beautiful, even and hazy luminance on the sidewalks. In addition, the spherical globes themselves are separately lighted by an internal LED-lamp which serves a decorative purpose.

On the ground, between and nearby the Cranberry lamps, there are Cranberry chair-lamps inspired by the berries. These benches, which are made by rotational moulding, are a great choice for gardens, balconies, beaches or city spaces, as they do not require maintenance and are highly weather-resistant (they have been tested in sea water and Arctic colds). Their material is reusable. The Cranberry chair can be used as a rotating lamp on sliding bearings – this composition is illuminated by a wide-light-shaft projector sunk into the ground. Likewise, it can be illuminated by a simple light element with an E27 socket attached to the shell – this light could be powered from a terrace or an indoor electric outlet. The chair is available with a through tunnel for draining rain water. The Cranberry chair can be equipped with a comprehensive draining system for draining rainwater and wash water. The bench can be installed by attaching it to a hard surface, or by means of threaded anchors and bolts. When installed on sliding bearings, the chair is lighted by an independent lamp placed in the ground. As a terrace lamp, a light source connected with a cable could be placed on the shell of the seat. In case of a non-lighted version, the chair may be filled with sand or gravel to stop it from being moved.
