Louis Poulsen is more than internationally acclaimed fixture designs. From the beginning, our company has been defined by its attitude toward lighting. Our never ending pursuit of perfection in both detail and the overall product signifies our dedication to creating light. We never compromise. This is visible in our products.

more than

light We insist on creating lighting products capable of interacting with architecture and contribute to a unique atmosphere. Whether indoors or outdoors. When the designer’s eye for detail meets the architect’s understanding of the overall picture, we create lighting with a unique ability to adjust and supplement architectural settings and styles. At Louis Poulsen, we include the details into the overall scheme when we create lighting. This is one of the key reasons why our lighting remains current and important generation after generation.

Throughout the years, custom designs of PH Artichoke with leaves of glass have been produced. The 50th anniversary for the design of PH Artichoke made Louis Poulsen include the glass version as a permanent member of the exclusive product range. The glass version of PH Artichoke is no coincidence. In 1958, the PH Septima inspired the creation of the PH Artichoke. Only a few pieces of the the seven-shade fixture, the PH Septima, were created. PH Artichoke Glass is also a challenge. Not only does the accuracy of each of the hand-made and handtreated glass leaves pose a challenge, but the actual positioning of the glass leaves can only be done during mounting, i.e. when the fixture hangs suspended. Therefore, specially trained staff from Louis Poulsen will assemble PH Artichoke Glass on site. PH Artichoke Glass will give any room a unique distinctive character. The soft light is diffused through the sandblasted leaves and adorns the surroundings with soft, comfortable lighting. The angles of the leaves give PH Artichoke Glass an iced look, whether lit or unlit, which adds a delicate lightness and elegance to the room. PH Artichoke Glass comes in all four sizes.

Few fixtures are as well known and admired throughout the world as Poul Henningen’s PH Artichoke. The fixture was designed 50 years ago. PH Artichoke is often called a classic, but should rather be termed an icon. PH Artichoke is hotter now than ever before. Numerous projects worldwide confirm that this chameleonic lighting fixture matches all types of interior design and creates an individual ambience. PH Artichoke’s harmonious and exciting design adapts to its surroundings in a calm and aesthetic manner. Previously, the application of PH Artichoke was often viewed as prestigious. This was the fixture for ministries and the world of finance with the odd detour to the grandiose attorney offices. This has changed drastically. PH Artichoke is no longer synonymous with corporate interior design. Today, PH Artichoke is used in all environments. Its masculine elegance and force help accentuate a room and create the atmosphere you want for a room and company. Times have made PH Artichoke a treasured part of the lighting in homes where focus is on unique design. PH Artichoke has broken down both cultural and architectural barriers. It fits everything and helps make the interior more exciting and distinct. 7

history in brief PH Artichoke was designed in 1958 at the request of architects Eva and Nils Koppel, who designed the restaurant Langelinie Pavillonen in Copenhagen. The architects were charged with creating the entire interior design of the restaurant based on the maxim that the pavilion should be “festive yet cosy”. The project was to observe five criteria: 1. Since the U-shaped serving area should be useable both in its entirety and as individual banqueting rooms and restaurant, a type of “chandelier” had to be found that could tie all the rooms together. 2. This requirement coincided with the regard of how the building appeared from the outside which is crucial considering how this glass pavilion is set in the terrain. 3. In the restaurant, the “chandeliers” should be supplemented by table lamps. The banqueting rooms should also be adorned by wall fixtures. 4. The chandeliers should be festive and emanate a warm glow. The table lamps should not compete with the chandeliers in terms of light and should emit intimate lighting on the tables. 5. The lighting fixtures should be decorative even during the day when they were unlit.

Poul Henningsen had already considered several of these criteria in his early multiple-shade fixtures, so the choice of Poul Henningsen as designer of the fixture for Langelinie Pavillonen came as no surprise. As Nils Koppel expresses it: ”His honest view on lighting which perfectly unites with his unique artistic and humorous abilities had to enable him to solve the requirements. In our eyes, it would have been an admission of failure if the fixtures had turned out as decorative art or contemporary fashion and not as rational lighting.” Langelinie Pavillionen, Copenhagen, Denmark

Poul Henningsen approached the assignment with requisite enthusiasm and found plenty of inspiration in some of his previous products. Particularly PH Septima, a seven-shade chandelier in clear glass consisting of seven rows of glass sand blown in six fields can be considered a predecessor of PH Artichoke. According to Poul Henningsen, PH Artichoke could have been made as a globe chandelier with six shades, but the 12 x 6 leaves gave a better play of light and richness and a better visual impression than the six rings in e.g. PH Septima.

PH 5 Celebrates 50th Anniversary After 50 years of glare-free illumination, the PH 5 is celebrating its 1958 conception by introducing an exciting new spin-off, the PH 50. The PH 50 captures the spirit of the 4-shade design but spices up the classic luminaire with five new color options – Chili

Red, Mint Blue, Wasabi Green, Coconut White and Olive Black. The PH 50’s vibrant flair comes not only from the five color options but also from its new lustrous finish. While the classic PH 5 was designed with a matte finish, the PH 50 has glossy surfaces that reflect light off the colored shades. The PH 50 adds a colorful decorative element to any space.

Designer Louise Campbell has shifted her inspiration from summer to winter and redefined the concept of floor lamps. It is massive, yet light and almost invisible. It is geometric in form, yet an organic collection of figures held together in a mysterious way. The white snowflakes have fallen in an un even, natural pattern – in some places close together and in others floating thinly into nothing. Louise Campbell explains her concept of light: "Softness – I’m searching for soothing light. Light to warm the spirit. In designing my fixtures, I strive to underline the beauty of the nature outside and bring it into people’s homes. A quiet battle against passive light that has no story, light that may have high lighting qualities, but generally lacks soul. When summers are good in Denmark, we have so much light that we hardly need artificial light sources. We save them

for winters. Thus, it seemed natural to get to the essence of winter light by underlining the most beautiful aspect I could find. The aspect we all relate to if we have special ties to the Nordic region.” Snow represents a new way of looking at the function of a floor lamp. When the light goes on, Snow generates more moodcreating room lighting than a conventional floor lamp. The design emits light in every direction, and - when lit - Snow floats as a light, airy element in a room. Despite its elongated shape, Snow is a slim fixture. This is possible because a 4.4 lb. counterweight hangs freely like a heavy snowball over the floor inside the fixture body. Design: Louise Campbell. Light source: 1/40W/GL R14/IF Medium + 1/60W/G30/ IF Medium. Dimensions: Diameter 13.7”, height 59”, width 31.5”.

Campbell and Collage inspire innovation Louise Campbell’s products are received positively everywhere, from Japan to the US. The inspiration from nature complemented by Louise’s feminine touch impresses from first sight. Louise Campbell’s two fixtures, Campbell and Collage, have appealed to both the private and professional markets. The products have been particularly well received in projects where the ambience parameter reigns s upreme.

Black and white have been themes in myriad settings. The ultimate meeting of contrasts.

The lighting fixtures in the PH 3/2 series are among our most popular PH products. The fixtures in the series adapt to all types of interior design. The trend towards more functional and simplistic interior design is now acknowledged with the launch of the PH 3/2 pendant and table fixture in black chrome-plated frame and white opal glass. The contrasts remain equally expressive whether lit or unlit. The chrome-plated black version displays a highly graphical and distinct idiom, which will underpin the interior design of any environment. A classic design added black elegance and exclusivity. Dressed for modern living.

The designer found inspiration for the shape and design in glass and clothing. Pleats and folds from dresses combined with light refraction in glass are all ingredients which young Swedish industrial designer Tatjana Eliason integrated into the LP Hint – a touch of multiple, small everyday observations. The LP Hint is a complete, compact light machine. Behind the simple exterior, it stores pole connection, ballast, reflector and adjustment facilities. LP Hint was designed to accommodate easy, fast maintenance; Louis Poulsen Lighting carries over the LP Icon concept – tool-free light source replacement. LP Hint is available in three versions, LP Hint Basic, LP Hint Opal and LP Hint Dome. The LP Hint Basic has a closed flat top and is classi-

fied a full cutoff fixture. The LP Hint Opal has a rounded opal acrylic top and is classified as a cutoff fixture. The opal top helps to illuminate the actual fixture while also functioning as a directional marker. Illumination is an important aspect of urban environments, lighting streets and pedestrian paths. The LP Hint Dome has a rounded metal top with the same aesthetic appeal of the LP Hint Opal but is full cutoff and has no uplight, similar to the LP Hint Basic. In its shape, LP Hint appears as a shortened cone, but due to its almost vertical sides, the perception angle greatly impacts its appearance. Its simple design makes LP Hint easy to fit into contemporary architecture. Viewed from the side, the post top appears rectangular, but when you view it from different angles, the fixture appears more rounded.

In 2006, Christian Flindt received the Designer-of-the-year award from leading Scandinavian interior design magazine Bo Bedre, recognising his works which comprise the much-exhibited and acclaimed Orchid chair.

The Flindt brings a new fixture to the Louis Poulsen product range that unites classic and modern design. A design that surprises the closer you get to it. Simplistic, yet complicated. The braiding technique is an elaborate precision work – the string in the Flindt fixture is 1,640 ft. – and the slightest inaccuracy will show clearly.

Design and technology details are not always easy to coalesce into a synthesis Many hours have been spent on testing various materials during the development of the Flindt. The tests have involved finding a string that both provided optimum shading and observed the transparency requirements. Colors and opacity were tested, and it proved necessary to complete the production of the Flindt to be able to make an assessment and get the right impression. Even the tiniest detail has been thoroughly discussed, turned and analyzed. Our unwillingness to compromise is the reason why Louis Poulsen lighting stands out from others and also determines which design ers Louis Poulsen works with. Working with Louis Poulsen is a challenge for any designer since our lighting philosophy is uncompromising.
