Louis Poulsen is an international design brand, founded in Copenhagen in 1874 by Mr Ludvig Poulsen. The Danish brand has collaborated with numerous visionary architects and designers to produce innovative lighting solutions for buildings and their surroundings for more than seventy years. Louis Poulsen believes that the quality of materials has a direct impact on the quality of light; for this reason, they utilise carefully selected, high-quality materials that are carefully quality controlled at their production facility in Vejen, Denmark. Their lighting solutions are designed to withstand the test of time; some are even known to be passed down through generations, which is a testament to the quality of the materials and timeless style. The superior styling, craftsmanship and quality of their products can be found on prominent projects around the globe. Together with designer Poul Henningsen, Louis Poulsen created a lighting and product philosophy summed up in the words function, comfort, and ambience.
Louis Poulsen's approach to lighting lies in a very strict and uncompromising product philosophy grounded in simplicity. There must be no elements that do not serve a light-related purpose. This results in products with a very simple and discreet design, ideally suited to all types of architecture, both new and old, across cultural styles. Each luminaire provides functional and inviting illumination, allowing every design to adapt to a variety of interiors. The brand prioritises longevity, refusing to rely on trends, designed to remain relevant for generations, both in form and function. The Louis Poulsen PH 5, Artichoke, AJ and Panthella are all Design Classics.
