Our company
Established in 1874 in Copenhagen, Louis Poulsen is the original house of light. We create products that provide exceptional light, shaping spaces for people to thrive in.
Building on our legacy of creating luxury lighting, we believe that passionate craftmanship, quality materials and innovative designs are instrumental in producing the high quality light we are known for. Honouring the Danish design tradition, our designs are based on the principle that form follows function. We see light as our material, which can be formed. That’s why we design to shape light.
At Louis Poulsen, we pride ourselves on transforming spaces and experiences with exceptional light.
