City and Landscapes

City and landscape lighting is about illumination of the space and about well-being and safety. A combination of design and technology results in optimal human experiences outdoors. At Louis Poulsen our philosophy about shaping light outdoors is rooted in a deep knowledge of city and landscape lighting.

Every space in its right light

 

We use and navigate the city in many different ways: we drive, walk, bike and skate. The new mixed industrial recreational areas such as harbour front lead to new ways of designing and combining different lighting.

Both the purposes and functions of an urban space need to be considered when planning the lighting in an area. Choose an application area on the map and explore our themes about light in different types of city and landscapes.
