Founded at the beginning of the 20th century, Louis Poulsen's early business had little to do with designing lighting. It wasn't until 1917, when the PH chandelier, launched in collaboration with the then-fledgling Poul Henningsen, became a big hit, that Louis Poulsen made the lamp his focus. Since then, the company has grown rapidly, working extensively with many well-known designers, including Arne Jacobsen, Verner Panton and King Miranda, to become one of the world's leading lighting manufacturers, many of which are works of art and industry classics.
While the PH series was the product that made Louis Poulsen famous, it was the AJ series designed by Arne Jacobsen that cemented Louis Poulsen's position in the floor lamp. As one of Denmark's most influential modern designers, Arne Jacobsen's Swan Chair, Egg Chair, No. 7 Chair, AJ Floor Lamp and other products designed for the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen have become representatives of Scandinavian modernist style.
The lampshade of the AJ series floor lamp adopts an asymmetrical design, shaped like the head of a vacuum cleaner, which jumps out of the routine without being overly exaggerated, and the projection angle of the lamp head can be adjusted to allow the light source to be projected in different postures. The solid color scheme and concise shape make people unconsciously focus on the round hole of the base hollowed-out. Originally intended as a user-friendly and functional design for placing ashtrays, it unexpectedly became one of the features of AJ's floor lamps. As a world-renowned floor lamp series, AJ has not only appeared in major design magazines, but also repeatedly appeared in movies, including the design of the male protagonist Bruce Wayne in "Batman". The price of the original full-size Louis Poulsen AJ series floor lamp is equivalent to about 7,800 yuan, excluding customs duties and freight, excluding bulbs.
The direct, bright light source of the AJ series is suitable for reading and working, while the PH series, which has a softer and warmer light, is more suitable for embellishment and ambience. The PH series of luminaires emphasizes the design of "no direct light source can be seen from any angle". Its so-called "Three Shadows" design contains three lampshades of different sizes in the lamp, all of which need to be reflected once before emitting them, plus opal glass lampshades and sandblasted matte process, so that the light diffused by PH has a gentle texture. The PH series has slim poles made of brass or chrome and steel, all with a plated finish. It is worth mentioning that the name of all PH lamps will contain a string of numbers such as "41/2-31/2", which actually indicates the diameter of the upper and lower lampshades, and "41/2" indicates that the diameter of the upper lampshade is 45cm. PH series floor lamps use international E26 LED bulbs, but they are not included with the lamps, and the price is about 7,000 yuan.
As an internationally renowned designer lighting manufacturer, Louis Poulsen's floor lamps are both practical and design-oriented. If you're on a loose budget and prefer a minimalist Scandinavian modern style, Louis Poulsen's floor lamp is a must-see. In the overseas flagship store of dmlights, the Tmall International Designer Lighting Brand Pavilion, there are also Louis Poulsen's lamps for sale, which is relatively convenient to buy.
