Story behind

The project was launched in 2011 and has featured several pha-

ses. In connection with an exhibition at the Brænderigården cen-

tre in Viborg, Denmark, the idea arose of developing a bollard to

illuminate the park area. This was accomplished in dialogue with

the Municipality of Viborg, Viborg Energiforyning (Viborg Energy

Supply), Viborg Museum of Art, a team of landscape architects and

Louis Poulsen.

In 2012, the prototype bollard was used for the exhibition in Vi-

borg, and the feedback was so positive that Louis Poulsen decided

to take the next step and develop a standard product. The bollard

was further optimised with regard to material quality, light distri-

bution and efficiency, and the new product was presented at the

2014 light + building trade fair in Frankfurt, Germany.
