News and novelties from Louis Poulsen

01. A big idea in a small package

Louis Poulsen is launching a new PH table lamp in September. The table lamp belongs to the 2/1 family, which also includes a chandelier, a pendant and a wall light.

The PH 2/1 table lamp is the smallest of the PH three-shade families, and its size offers unique placement flexibility in rooms where one wants to create small points of light to add atmosphere or highlight the room dimensions.

02. Louis Poulsen wins British lighting award for best 2011 product

On 10 March, Louis Poulsen received the Lighting Design Award for best outdoor product in 2011 at a major gala event at London Hilton, Park Lane.

Louis Poulsen launched the Rubbie bollard in late autumn 2010. The bollard is conceived by Danish designer Peter Bysted. In fact, the design was used as a custom-design product at the world Expo in Hanover almost ten years ago. The product was highly complicated considering the technical possibilities of that time; indeed, the material was so controversial that Louis Poulsen dared not market the bollard without a prolonged test period. Rubbie is made of rubber, and the bollards made for the Expo were monitored through the years to assess the durability of the material. Louis Poulsen also chose to launch the product with the latest stride in light sources, viz. the LED.

03. AJ 50 Wall - a design icon featuring a new lighting technology

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the launch of the AJ family, Louis Poulsen has developed an outdoor fixture that stays true to the design and lighting idea of Arne Jacobsen. On top of that, the fixture is fitted with LED.

For 50 years, Louis Poulsen has been marketing the AJ lamp, one of the design icons of Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. Its silhouette is instantly recognisable worldwide.

04. The OJ Family

It’s a fixture….

Danish designer Ole Jensen teamed up with Louis Poulsen to redefine the concept of a fixture.

Ole Jensen is renowned for his “self-explanatory” designs. No one doubts the use of his designs – they literally enlighten us about it. So what could be more natural than him trying his hand at creating a light fixture.

Actually, he ended up with all of three fixtures: a table lamp, a wall fixture and a floor lamp. To simplify things, they are all called OJ.

05. LED - New light source used with care
New light sources constantly emerge, and the increased focus on energy consumption entails greater demands on the reactivity of lighting manufacturers. LED is seen as the light source of the future, but it really is still a light source under development. Louis Poulsen tests all new light sources and quickly adopts them into the product range once they have been found suitable. However, Louis Poulsen places uncompromising demands on all new light sources, viz. they need to prove their legitimacy. Consequently, close correlation exists between the light source and the products featuring the light source. In short, the relationship between the light source, the product and applicability must be relevant.

06. LP Nest

With its new partnership with Bysted Architects, Louis Poulsen has extended the long string of architects that forms the foundation for Louis Poulsen’s global reputation as superb lightmakers.

‘The shape arises out of nature’s constructive logic. The shade of the lamp springs from the cool steel trunk like a stylised tree top. A filigree pattern that copies the beautiful, naked trees in wintertime, while elegantly supporting a disc of life-giving light.’

Erik Bystrup, Architect

07. Arne Jacobsen’s AJ Lamps in new colors
Louis Poulsen commemorates the 50-year anniversary of Arne Jacobsen’s iconic AJ lamps with the launch of 5 new colors based on Jacobsen’s color concept. Each variant is there for you to experience in 5 separate rooms at the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Copenhagen. A living monument to this design legacy.

08. Toldbod in new, balanced colour concept
The Toldbod family idiom is simple, stylish yet always contemporary. Simplicity is one of the keys to Toldbod’s unique adaptability to any style and architecture. The Toldbod family comprises outdoor and indoor products.

09. Major success extended with a minor
Collage 450 is an extension to the Collage family consisting of the pendant and floor fixtures Collage 600. The Collage series has become an international success and is sold in private and professional markets alike. With Collage 450, Louis Poulsen caters to many customers’ desire for a smaller fixture.

10. Two Louis Poulsen fixtures receive international design award
On 29 June, two of Louis Poulsen’s newest offshoots, Snow and Aeros, received the prestigious Red Dot Design Award.
With more than 11,000 participants from 61 countries, Red Dot Design Award is one of the largest and most prestigious design competitions. In the Lighting category, awards were bestowed on the lighting fixtures Snow and Aeros designed by internationally renowned Louise Campbell and Ross Lovegrove, respectively. The awards were presented on 29 June at a festive ceremony at Essen Aalto Theatre in Germany.
Snow and Aeros were launched in spring 2009. Innovative and distinctive in design, both products drew instant attention and have been widely promoted by Danish and international press.

11. Aeros – sculptural pendant designed by Ross Lovegrove
Louis Poulsen introduces the sculptural Aeros pendant designed by internationally renowned designer Ross Lovegrove. With its exceptional light distribution, Aeros demonstrates a fresh interpretation of Louis Poulsen’s lighting philosophy.

12. F+P - New fixture designed by Foster + Partners expresses the very transference of light
F+P 550 is the first of a brand new range of lighting fixtures, the result of an exciting and productive partnership between Louis Poulsen and Foster + Partners. The design teams were convinced that there was a way to use large numbers of LEDs to create a fixture that did not just challenge the technical limits of LEDs, but surpassed the functional to achieve a fixture appropriate for the Louis Poulsen portfolio.

13. Snow - New fixture from Louise Campbell brings a sense of winterlight into the room
Louise Campbell has previously teamed up with Louis Poulsen to create two fixtures that both capture the essence of summer sunlight filtering through foliage. The talented designer has now created Snow, an unconventional fixture that brings a sense of winter light reflecting off snow right into a room.
