Iconic Louis Poulsen lamps by Arne Jacobsen

The lighting designs by the Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen are represented among the Louis Poulsen icons with the AJ floor lamp and the AJ Oxford table lamp. Arne Jacobsen worked with Louis Poulsen in the 1950s and 1960s. As part of the interior design of his famous SAS Hotel in Copenhagen, Jacobsen designed the characteristic lampshade for the AJ floor, table and wall lamps, which are now among the best-known design classics from Louis Poulsen. The design of the iconic table lamp AJ Oxford was based on the architecture of St. Catherine's College in Oxford.

Iconic Louis Poulsen lamps by Poul Henningsen

The Louis Poulsen Icons lights include pendant, floor and table lamps by Poul Henningsen. The Danish architect and designer began working for Louis Poulsen in the 1920s with the vision of developing lamps with glare-free light. His innovative three-shade system became a trademark worldwide and was used in numerous iconic Louis Poulsen lamps. These include the PH 5 pendant lamp and the PH 80 floor lamp from the Louis Poulsen Icons series.

1. Louis Poulsen icons for the kitchen

The PH 5 pendant light by Poul Henningsen is a timeless design icon and one of the most well-known Louis Poulsen lights. With glare-free light, which is distributed in all directions thanks to its unique shape, it provides bright but cozy light and is therefore also perfect as a kitchen lamp. In this function, the iconic Louis Poulsen PH 5 pendant light is particularly popular in Denmark. In recent years, however, the Panthella collection has also found its way into the kitchen of many design fans as a practical kitchen light.

The Louis Poulsen Icons AJ floor lamp is the perfect choice for anyone looking for an elegant reading lamp for the living room. The extravagant, minimalist shade directs the light in a targeted manner, but also ensures glare-free, diffuse light distribution. The AJ floor lamp thus proves to be the ideal reading lamp that spreads an elegant and at the same time homely atmosphere.

3. Louis Poulsen icons for the dining room

A PH 5 lamp is the perfect light companion for every meal - whether at small tables for two or for the large table. A somewhat classier idea for the elegant dining room table is the PH Artichoke pendant light, which transforms any table into a festive table. This luxurious Louis Poulsen lamp consists of 72 leaves that diffuse the light in all directions and create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
