Story
A post light from nature's structures
Bystrup Design was tasked with a post light that meets technical requirements such as cut-off criteria and glare-free lighting, together with specific aesthetic aims. The idea was to take inspiration from structures in nature.
Shade like a tree crown
Erik Bystrup likens the shade to a stylistic tree crown growing out of the trunk, with a filigree pattern that imitates the bare trees of winter. The design also takes the development of new light sources into account.
