“For me, there is a special incentive with outdoor lighting to create context between the environment and the design. The light should reinforce the space rather than dominate it,” Peter Bysted says.
Stump bollard by Peter Bysted is a sturdy, modern, low-energy lighting product that adapts to the environment and appeals to both the eye and heart.
Stump Bollard recently won the “Best Outdoor Lighting of the Year” at the 2022 Prize Designs for Modern Furniture + Lighting from Global Design News and The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design.
Stump is a lighting design inspired by the certification of the Island of Møn in the southern part of Denmark as a Dark Sky Community.
As a place renowned for excellent star watching, residents of the Island are dedicated to maintaining a low level of blinding lighting in the outdoor public and private spaces.
Stump’s emission of light is non-blinding and dedicated to illuminating parks and paths – just enough to ensure safety and to emphasize the experience of night’s own magic.
At night the design will present itself with a warm glow on the lamp’s oxidized cast iron body.
In daylight, it offers an inviting stool to rest on – or just a look at the sunlight and shadows varying on its curvy and organic shape.
