LC Shutters Louise Campbell 2012
The key feature of any lamp – the naked light bulb – may be effective, but it is also merciless. The more light it gives, the more potentially destructive it is to its surroundings. Its hard light blinds the eye and does nothing good for the atmosphere in a room. The job of a good lamp is to transform the light from the bulb before this light meets its surroundings. To disperse the rays with purposeful direction, leading them to exactly where we need them and to waste as few rays as possible in the process. To create light which is as comfortable as it is useful, for both eyes and souls.

about this lamp
LC Shutters has been designed with the purpose of transforming hard to soft. The hard light of a single powerful bulb is filtered through this perforated shade, resulting in a completely different, gentle ambience. Close to the intimacy of candlelight, yet far more effective. An initially flat sheet of dense aluminium is machined until a soft rolling landscape is achieved. By slicing and punching the form throughout, the shade is given two interacting layers, in between which the light can tease its way through, giving the shade a life of its own, where shadows play, but nothing is left in darkness.

LC Shutters is an accommodating lamp. It is rounded and easy on the eye. The lamp blends very naturally into its surroundings, regardless of the lifestyle or interior design.

LC Shutters spreads light softly and comfortably. The diffused light is particularly suitable for illuminating a conference table. Diffusion provides participants at your meeting with comfortable and honest lighting – essential for effective communication. The lamp also helps create a homely atmosphere in the often cold, functional nakedness of a conference room. Good lighting creates good dialogue.

innovation and even more creativity
The production process is demanding. For Louis Poulsen, it was important for the lamp to be constructed as a single element. From its earliest stages to the finishing touches, the production process at the Louis Poulsen factory in Vejen, Denmark is seamless. The factory demonstrates its unmatched expertise in handling metal elements, and, although the material was predetermined, Louis Poulsen was open to new technical challenges. A complex and expensive precision tool was invented and specially developed for LC Shutters. Pinpoint accuracy is necessary in all phases of production and the Vejen factory has made accuracy a fine art.
