Flindt Garden Bollard

Overview

The Flindt Garden Bollard was developed by Christian Flindt with Louis Poulsen and introduced in 2021. The light source rests at the top inside an asymmetric carving on the side of the post, and the gradient of that carving acts as a reflector that softens the light.

• Die-cast aluminum for the top and the base plate
• Extruded aluminum for the post
• Textured powder coated paint, 3 finishes
• Base mounting, with a baseplate for anchoring to decks and floors

Specifications

• LED 3000K, 215 lm delivered; Ra≥80; non-dimming
• 24 VDC low voltage; the power supply is mounted remotely
• cULus wet location; IP65, IK06; BUG rating B0-U2-G0
• Weight 2.8 lbs

Origin of the carved form

The sculptural design began with a request for a more refined bollard to light a park beside an exhibition at the Danish art hall Kunsthal Brænderigården in Jutland, known today as Viborg Kunsthal. The result was received so well that Louis Poulsen chose to develop it further with Christian Flindt.

Power and installation

This version needs a separate 24 V or 230 V DC power supply, and a single supply can run several Garden bollards. Base mounted bollards include a baseplate for anchoring to decks and floors, and their installation is determined by a certified electrician with below ground cabling and conduit.
