More about Louis Poulsen Lamps

The Louis Poulsen company has a long and proud history of designing and producing lamps for both home and business. Lamps from Louis Poulsen have been recognized the world over, all the way back to 1925 when Poul Henningsen was awarded the first gold medal at an international exhibition of decorative arts in Paris for his ground-breaking designs. Louis Poulsen produces a broad selection of floor/standard lamps, table lamps, wall lamps, pendants and outdoor lamps for both the home and business.

Poul Henningsen laid the groundwork for Louis Poulsen’s extraordinary success with lamps. From the mid-20’s until the mid-60’s Louis Poulsen’s lamps were primarily designed by Henningsen. Other significant designers that have worked for Louis Poulsen include Arne Jacobsen, Verner Panton, Louise Campbell, Ross Lovegrove, Shoichi Uchiyama and Christian Flindt.

Timeless and unique design and quality

The overall goal is to develop a lamp with a long technical and design lifespan, and therefore it is the product’s timelessness and quality that secure the lamp’s unique suitability for both old and new interiors and architecture. Louis Poulsen has in recent years had a great deal of success in retaining its existing position and at the same time expanding through new and ground-breaking lamp designs.

Most recently, the collaboration with the young visionary deisgner Louise Campbell has resulted in great success with the colourful and organic Collage lamp, which was preceeded by the equally innovative Enigma pendant, designed by Shoichi Uchiyama.

The iconic PH lamp by Poul Henningsen

The Louis Poulsen range of classic and iconic lamps wouldn’t be complete without the unique PH lamps. The lamp was originally designed in 1925 and launched as a pendant with three lampshades—otherwise known as the three-shade system. The unique thing about the three-shade system was that the lampshades hid the light source while reflecting the light, so the lamp didn’t blind. What the designer, Poul Henningsen, didn’t know at the time was that his designs would have a profound impact on design history and that his lamp would go on to become a design icon.
