Story
Second prize in 1975
Peter Bysted designed Bysted in 1975, and it won second prize in a Louis Poulsen competition for outdoor lighting. The idea was to position the shades so that they create an interesting pattern on the ground.
Corten steel
Choosing Corten steel as the material was revolutionary at the time, and it still constitutes a major component of the product's identity.
