The VL Ring Crown family derives from a lamp designed by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen for the Danish Broadcasting Company building, located in Copenhagen, in the 1940s, where the wall and suspension versions, with their characteristic organic shape, 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 after, a Ring Crown based on the original designs was introduced.

The VL Studio family arises from a lamp designed by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen for Radiohuset, the headquarters of the Danish national radio and television company, located in Copenhagen, in the 1940s. The name “Studio” was chosen because some of these lamps were used outside the recording studio to indicate, with a red or green light, whether a live broadcast was taking place.

The NJP series was designed by Oki Sato, founder of the Nendo design studio, with the intention of giving a new interpretation to the classic Anglepoise articulated arm lamp – with all its well-known characteristics – in a current design that would adapt the functions to the Today's way of working, both in the office and at home. The adjustable arms and head of the NJP Wall Light make it exceptionally adjustable, something that most common wall lights do not usually boast of.

Poul Henningsen designed the three-screen system in 1925-1926. Together with Louis Poulsen, PH designed the first lamps to use this system for an exhibition in Paris. The collaboration between the two continued until his death in 1967. Throughout his life, PH sought to create direct, glare-free lighting in places where it was needed most. Additionally, he used incandescent bulbs as a light source to create soft shadows.

The Flindt Wall Light is part of the Flindt series, which brings exceptional lighting and a bold, sculptural design to indoor and outdoor spaces. Based on the same carved design as the bollards, the Flindt Sconce continues the elegant design language in the shape of a perfect circle. The Flindt Wall Light is distinguished by the light outlet at the top that emits light out the front of the fixture, creating a subtle, glowing ring of reflected light at the transition between the concave and convex shapes.

Keglen is a design by BIG Ideas in collaboration with Louis Poulsen that was released in 2017. The idea was to create a simple but unique lamp with an emphasis on geometry and the essence of light. The collaboration between Louis Poulsen and BIG Ideas began with the development of a suspension lamp for the Tirpitz Museum in Blåvand, a building that BIG had designed for the Varde Museums.

VL38 wall lamp is based on the original design of the VL38 table lamp. The VL38 table lamp was originally designed in the late 1930s by Vilhelm Lauritzen in partnership with Louis Poulsen for the construction of the Radiohuset building (the Danish broadcasting house) in Copenhagen (today the Royal Danish Academy of Music). Vilhelm Lauritzen’s lamp design, VL38 and the pendant VL45 both designed for Radiohuset, started to appear in Louis Poulsen catalogues after World War 2 in the middle of the 1940s. 

In 1956, Arne Jacobsen designed the AJ Eklipta for Rødovre Town Hall. The concept came in two sizes: 350 mm and 450 mm. They were used on indoor stairs or as wall lights in outdoor spaces. A 220mm version was later designed for St Catherine's University, England. When Arne Jacobsen used the luminaire on stairs, he always preferred the larger model.

The first LP Grand of 2016 was born when Louis Poulsen asked Christian Flindt to develop a ceiling lamp for large spaces that would work at different scales and take up little space. At the same time, the luminaire had to have the DNA of Louis Poulsen and be a “Design that shapes light”, even on a large scale.

Initially, the PH Hat, designed by Poul Henningsen in 1961, was available in two sizes. With the PH Hat, Henningsen sought to design a lamp for bedrooms, among other uses. The pink interior of the lampshade provides a soft and pleasant light. Today, only the smallest version is available. The PH Hat is also perfect for foyers, stairs and hallways.

The AJ lamp series is considered worldwide to be the best work of Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. He designed the series in 1957 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen (current Radisson Collection). At that time it consisted of a floor lamp, a wall lamp, a table lamp, a smaller table lamp and a lamp designed to be fixed to a table.
