Bysted Bollard by Louis Poulsen
Bysted was designed by Peter Bysted in 1975 and won second prize in a competition held by Louis Poulsen for outdoor lighting. The idea was to position the shades so as to create an interesting pattern on the ground. The choice of Corten steel as a material was also revolutionary at the time, and still constitutes a major component of the products identity.
Light concept
The fixture emits light directed downwards. The shades have a white painted undersurface to achieve optimal light reflection and produce a characteristic symmetric light pattern around the fixture.
