When night falls along the Qiantang River, the first beam of soft white light rises on the corner of Hangzhou EIC. But this is not a streetlight in the traditional sense — it is a “breathing, thinking, city-aware” smart streetlights, designed and manufactured by Shanghai Zemso Urban Furniture Technology Co., Ltd.
EIC (Emerging Innovation City) is one of the flagship projects in Qianjiang Century City’s Olympic Sports Core Zone — the largest and most ambitious to date. It represents the transformation of the Century City from “CBD” to “CAZ,” envisioned as a landmark for Hangzhou’s next 20 years. Conceived as a “Future Micro-City,” EIC integrates 5G, AI, and ESG smart systems, creating a 24-hour mixed living space of 8 hours of work, 8 hours of life, and 8 hours of entertainment. Its ultimate goal: to become both the “Financial Headquarters of the Yangtze River Delta” and the “Front Cover of the Digital Economy.”
The lamp pole is minimalist stainless steel — like a strand of moonlight drawn long. By day, it gleams with metallic clarity; by night, the soft LED glow flows down like digital silk threads weaving through the urban fabric. The lamp head, shaped like an osmanthus leaf, gently crowns the 4-meter pole, ensuring the light remains pure, delicate, and timeless. This elegance is the result of ZEMSO’s pursuit of industrial aesthetics and structural engineering — hiding steel’s sharpness in moonlight’s softness, refining complexity into simplicity. For the first time, a streetlight carries the delicacy of rippling West Lake waters and the quiet strength of Cloud Bamboo Path.
As dusk settles, the lamp responds instantly — surveillance and emergency alerts work like a silent umbrella, guarding late-night joggers. A discreet charging port at mid-pole gives travelers a renewed sense of direction home. Beneath the osmanthus leaf, the speaker hums softly with music, yet falls silent when duty calls, carrying warnings gently along the street. This warmth comes from ZEMSO’s weaving of human needs into steel frameworks — transforming alarms into reassurance, and power into companionship. For the first time, a streetlight holds the tenderness of the West Lake evening breeze and the intimacy of Broken Bridge in winter snow.
The night is a stage, and a 21-inch LCD becomes a third reflection of the Qiantang waters. Consumer promotions, mall coupons, and public service ads flash in rotation, syncing with building screens and subway lightboxes to form a precise, real-time marketing loop. Foot traffic turns into economic flow — and a single beam of light can now record value. Infrastructure is no longer just a “cost center” but a “value center.” This glow of circulating silver threads is ZEMSO’s work at the intersection of commerce and community — transforming cold data into warm sparks of life, and turning streetlight beams into balance sheet entries.
From West Lake’s Broken Bridge to the banks of the Qiantang, the night is quietly stitched together by these streetlights. They weave data, commerce, art, and daily life into a living network, transforming the city from merely “a place to live” into “a living organism.”
At ZEMSO, “lighting for people” is embedded in the design philosophy, and “growing with the city” is the standard for delivery. The light that once only illuminated roads has now become an upgradable urban infrastructure.
So next time you pass through Hangzhou EIC, look up — the lights are still shining, the city is still evolving, and this sustainable renewal is the value ZEMSO Group delivers.
