Lysning
The Lysning
The Lysning — Frame the sky. Define the space.
Starting at $8,500
Overview
Lysning is a Danish word for a clearing in the forest — a place where light breaks through. Our pergola captures that feeling: open to the sky but architecturally defined, creating a sense of place in your landscape without a single wall. Heavy timber posts and beams create dramatic structure with real architectural presence. Adjustable aluminum louvers rotate to track the sun, giving you full shade, dappled light, or open sky at the turn of a lever. Integrated stainless steel wire trellises invite wisteria, climbing roses, or grape vines to create a living canopy over the seasons. A concealed LED lighting track transforms the space after dark — string lights, recessed spots, or color-wash LEDs all mount without visible hardware. The Lysning frames outdoor living the way a gallery frames art: the view is the point, and the structure makes you see it differently.

Danish Design, American Craftsmanship
Every Lunden Outdoors the lysning is rooted in the Danish design tradition: form follows function, materials are honest, and beauty comes from proportion and restraint — never decoration. We don't add what isn't needed. We refine what is.
Theis Lunden trained at the Danish School of Furniture Making, where he learned that a joint should be as beautiful as the piece it holds together. That philosophy extends to every structure we build — from the visible timber frame to the hidden fasteners.
“A good structure should feel inevitable — like it couldn't have been built any other way.”
— Theis Lunden, Founder
