Practice makes perfect

From the very start of the project, Christian Flindt had a clear

vision of how the fixture should emit and distribute the light.

This explains why a great deal of work had to be done in the

model studio before the final version was decided upon.

The optimal light distribution was established through a series

of full-scale trials with the light slit, and the shared vision of

creating a bollard which partially illuminates itself while

simultaneously emitting glare-free, directional light was of

paramount importance to both Christian Flindt and Louis

Poulsen.

Optimisation of the light emission is thus linked to considera-

tions of both aesthetics and energy-efficiency.
