Louis Poulsen Flindt Plaza Street Light

The light source is hidden at the top, inside the asymmetric carving on the side of the post, where the gradient serves as a reflector that softens the light and forms a pleasant organic shape on the ground below.

To optimise the flexibility in the lighting design, the illumination is adjustable with plus/minus 5° vertical and 360° horizontal, allowing for a more varied light distribution. The fixture is based on a modular principle and can in some configurations be built with up to five highly flexible light heads on one pole.

CHRISTIAN FLINDT

Christian Flindt (1972-) graduated with an MAA and MDD from Aarhus School of Architecture in 2002. He then started his own design company in 2003.

Here, he placed high emphasis on communication between people, and his focus on this area finds expression in his approach to re-evaluating furniture. He wants his furniture to inspire people to make new connections.

Christian Flindt’s fresh and daring designs in conventional constructions prove that he is a designer with the courage to experiment. He develops innovative furniture and through his work with LED design, for example, he succeeds in blending disparate fields such as lighting and furniture design.

Christian Flindt is also known for his sculptural and rightfully praised chairs: Orchid, Ripple Chair and Light Lounger. He has held exhibitions and participated in trade fairs all over the world, and has been awarded a string of prizes including: the Bo Bedre Design Award 2005 and the Bolig Magasinet Design Award for the Flindt range he created for Louis Poulsen, the States Art Foundation Kunstfonds three year workgrant in 2012, the Knud V.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT

The Flindt Plaza is an addition to the Flindt family, developed by award winning Danish designer and architect Christian Flindt, in collaboration with Louis Poulsen. The Flindt Plaza meets the need for scenic and flexible, as well as discreet, larger scale illumination in a range of applications from public parks, urban squares, city centres and ocean fronts.

The distinctive carving gives the luminaire character, while also serving as a dimming reflector, softening the light and making it more pleasant in the dark of night, while also directing it precisely where needed.

The idea behind the sculptural design, however, was born in 2011, when a more refined type of bollard was desired to illuminate a park next to an exhibition at the Danish art hall Kunsthal Brænderigården in Jutland, today known as Viborg Kunsthal.
