Sculpting Light For Walls

If there’s one thing that Danish designer Christian Flindt has proven with his inspirational work for Louis Poulsen, it’s that outdoor lighting can embody the same elegant and sculptural light quality as its indoor counterpart. His popular Flindt Bollard set a new direction for outdoor lighting with its organically shaped asymmetrical illumination proving as alluring as the expressive carved fixture from which it is cast. Now, with the recently released Flindt Wall, he has defined a new mode of warm, inviting light with a sculptural carved-out fitting that balances robustness with mesmerising delicacy for use indoors and out. Flindt Wall sends a gentle glow in multiple directions from its sculpted circular form, washing both the wall behind it and its own inner surface, while highlighting the shape of a half moon. A subtle glowing ring of light is reflected from the fixture’s rim. True to the DNA of Louis Poulsen, the overall effect is entirely glare free. Rather, the matte grained powder lacquering of the aluminium body renders a soft gradient of light from the top to the bottom of the fixture.
