History of Louis Poulsen

Louis Poulsen was founded in 1874 in Denmark, with the guiding principle that form follows function: each element of a lamp must justify its presence by improving its use, and aesthetics begin and end with light.

Le designer Poul Henningsen

In 1924, the architect designer Poul Henningsen joined forces with Louis Poulsen to participate in a lighting competition organized in Paris, the “Exposition Internationale des Arts DĂ©coratifs & Industriels Modernes”.

Incandescent bulbs had just appeared and for Poul Henningsen it was a matter of harnessing power to provide lighting that was both efficient and pleasing to the eye.

Louis Poulsen bought the Laurits Henriksen factory in Copenhagen in 1941 and became a lighting manufacturer. War obliges, Poul Henningsen designs a occultation lamp which allows lighting without being seen by the German planes flying over the city.

Another big name associated with the history of Louis Poulsen, the architect designer Arne Jacobsen, author of numerous icons of world design, notably signed the AJ lamps collection in 1957, available in table lamps, floor lamps and wall lamps and which will never leave never the catalog.

Verner Panton designed the iconic Panthella lamps in 1971, today available in numerous sizes, materials and colors and which has been among Louis Poulsen's bestsellers for years.

Another big name in the history of Danish design, the architect designer Vilhelm Lauritzen has seen his main lighting fixtures reissued by Louis Poulsen in recent years.

But Louis Poulsen is also a brand anchored in the present, listening to today's talents, whether Danish, Swiss, English or Japanese, like Clara von Zweigbergk and Oki Sato of Nendo.

The Louis Poulsen range includes an unparalleled collection of icons in the history of designer lighting, which always set a benchmark for their timeless aesthetics as well as their intrinsic lighting qualities.

Among these world-famous and still living icons, we can of course cite the incomparable PH5 pendant light and the sculptural PH Artichoke by Danish designer engineer Poul Henningsen.

Let us also mention the Panthella lamp by the whimsical Verner Panton, available as a table lamp and a floor lamp.

Or the timeless AJ lamp by Arne Jacobsen, a multifaceted genius who excelled both in architecture and in the design of furniture and lighting.
