The mid-century style is just as popular today as at the time of its creation. Originating from the Unites States in the 1950s, the reduced and organic, yet geometric designs have captivated the design world. Louis Poulsen lights are part of the focused, modern living style which developed in Denmark. With their simple shapes, high-quality materials and clever construction, the design classics were, and continue to be, easy to combine and a highlight in any home.
Many of the Louis Poulsen lighting classics stem from the groundbreaking designs of Poul Henningsen. The lifelong, fruitful design partnership between the designer and Louis Poulsen began in 1924 and lasted until his death in 1967. This period resulted in the characteristic PH lamps, whose special characteristic is the innovative directed lighting. Guided by multiple lamp shades, the light illuminates the table or a whole room without any glare. Discover the classics:
PH lighting by Louis Poulsen captivates with its interplay between light structures, shade, glare and colour. Be it in the living room, bedroom, kitchen or hallway, the lights emit atmospheric lighting.
In 1960, the Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen designed the AJ lights for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. The collection includes wall lights, floor lamps, table lamps and pendant lights, which cast the light in a certain direction. Thanks to the swivel-mounted lamp heads, you can perfectly adjust the direction of the light to your desk or your reading chair. The simple, timeless design of the lighting works in any interior style – be it minimalism, retro chic or modernism. To mark the 50th anniversary of the series, Louis Poulsen surprised the design world with the release of the lamps in five new colours.
The brand Louis Poulsen looks back on a long company history. Founded in 1892 as a business selling tools and electrical appliances, the label has been specialising in lamps since the 1920s.
