Louis Poulsen

To mark Poul Henningsen's 120th birthday on 9 September, Louis Poulsen is launching the new PH 31⁄2-3 lighting pendant. The PH 31⁄2-3 distribution is based on Poul Henningsen's original drawings from the late 1920s and early 1930s, featuring his renowned three-shade system. The pendant has metal shades, available in green, yellow, red and white. The fixture housing is silk mat brown and made of copper. ...

Poul Henningsen designed the three-screen system in 1925-1926. Along with Louis Poulsen, PH designed the first light bulbs to use this system for an exhibition in Paris. Collaboration between the two continued until his death in 1967. Throughout his life, he sought to create direct and dim lighting in the places where it was most needed. In addition, he used incandescent light bulbs as a light source to create soft shadows. PH 41⁄2-4 Glass Suspended is part of the three-screen family, which currently had 30 lights included for use. Thus, he began designing not just a three-light system but three lighter shadows; over the years, he created a three-light system. ...

Poul Henningsen designed the three-screen system installed in 1925-1926. In 1931 the first lights to use this system were designed for an exhibition in Paris. He continued to work with Louis Poulsen until his death, which occurred in 1967. Throughout his life, PH sought to create direct and non-luminous lighting in the places where it was most needed. In addition, he used incandescent bulbs as a light source to create soft shadows. In 1931 the four-screen system was launched to create a lighting system that could be hung to a certain height and offer an alternative to traditional spider lamps. ...

AJ Royal was one of the designs developed by Arne Jacobsen in 1957 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen (now Radisson Collection). It illuminated, in its copper version, the coffee table tables located behind the lobby, the rest area of the first floor and the lounge with panoramic views of the twenty-first floor. The hotel opened its doors in 1960 and, with its 22 floors, provided Copenhagen with its first authentic skyscrapers, drawing a clear and illuminating inspiration from the New York skyline. At that time, the lamp was simply called a suspension. ...

The VL Ring Crown family derives from a lamp designed by the architect Vilhelm Lauritzen for the building of the Danish Radio Broadcasting Company, located in Copenhagen, in the 1940s, where the wall and suspension versions, with their characteristic organic form, found good use. For this project, Vilhelm Lauritzen also created the VL38 and VL45 lamps. The VL Ring Crown never made an appearance there, but not long afterwards, a Ring Crown based on the original designs was introduced. In 1947, designer Finn Juhl, who worked for Vilhelm Lauritzen, used the VL Crown as part of the three interior designs for the Danish luminaire manufacturer The Bing Grøhl & Crown lamp designed underneath a sophisticated lineup.

Poul Henningsen designed his first lights in 1925-1926 for an exhibition in Paris. He continued to work with Louis Poulsen until his death, which occurred in 1967. Throughout his life, PH sought to create direct and non-glare lighting in places where it was most needed. In addition, he used incandescent bulbs as a light source to create soft shadows. In 1958, Poul Henningsen designed Snowball, which was exhibited alongside the PH 5 at the Danish Museum of Decorative Art. However, at that time Snowball went fairly unnoticed and it was from 1983 when it was re-launched and produced. ...

PH Septima is considered one of Poul Henningsen's most refined suspension lamps. When it was first exhibited in 1928 as a prototype at the Danish Museum of Decorative Art (now Museum of Design of Denmark), this lighting poetic was a critical success. Based on the three-screen PH system, the PH Septima glass lamp has four additional displays interspersed between the three basic displays, all of them produced from Italian lighting glass as delicate as resistant. The displays are treated so that their surface comprises alternating lighting materials and other lighting materials and are positioned in such a way that the three-dimensional shades cover the lighting trays, which enables the stability of the lighting lamps to avoid a more sophisticated lighting resistance that follows the development of the PH Z Z Z ...

Toldbod 155/220 Glass Suspended was introduced in 2002 and, like the other products in the Toldbod series, its design is based on the PH Ellipse reflector. Its precise design makes it perfectly suited to a variety of architectural environments. ...

ZPoul Henningsen began collaborating with ZLouis Poulsen in 1925-1926, when he designed his first light bulbs for an exhibition in Paris. The collaboration between the two continued until his death in 1967. Throughout his life, PHZ sought to create direct and non-glare lighting in the places where it was most needed. In addition, he used incandescent light bulbs as a light source to create soft shadows. The PH 3/2 Academy is part of the light family of three displays, which currently has 30 lights, including the PH model for exterior use. Thus, he designed not a single light bulb but a whole system; at the end of his life, he designed three thousand light bulbs. ...

The first incorporation was the Toldbod 290 exterior family in 1982. Following this success were introduced the Toldbod Glass interior suspension lamps. Later the Toldbod metal suspension lamps were introduced, which were completed with the four larger editions in 2019. The Toldbod suspension lamp directs most of the light downward, faithful to the philosophy of modeling light to illuminate spaces without affecting people's eyes. ...

The Above suspension lamp, by Danish designer Mads Odgård, represents a markedly simplistic lighting design. The designer himself is deeply minimalist and creates clear and simple works, where function is valued as much as form and quality. "I have designed a lamp that embodies my mantra: How far do you dare to go to create a simple design? I prefer to remove adding, and I always include myself by making things as simple as possible", says Mads Odgård. ...
