Louis Poulsen Designs to Shape Light.
Projects
Louis Poulsen has always sought, not only to design lamps, but also to shape light and create an atmosphere that makes people feel good, both in- and outdoors. The shape of light creates space and our products should live harmoniously within the space they define - indirect, soft and inviting.
City- & Landscapes
Louis Poulsen’s every solution for shaping light outdoors is rooted in a deep knowledge of the demands of city and landscape illumination – and an understanding of the combination of design and technology that results in optimal human experiences outdoors.
Work, Learn, Play
Lighting is not just a question of aesthetics. It also has a big influence on whether people thrive in their everyday lives. In fact, the right type of lighting can significantly improve performance at both workplaces and educational institutions. Lighting is becoming subject to ever greater requirements in terms of light quality, durability, energy efficiency and aesthetics. This is fully in line with the lighting philosophy at Louis Poulsen. The brand recognizes people need to be able to work and study under the right conditions if they are to perform well.
Hospitality and Leisure
It is known the sensation of feeling safe and welcome in a place, and no one has refined the art of providing that environment more than the hospitality industries. Comfortable surroundings lead to a positive experience and the desire to return. Whether people visit a hotel or restaurant for business or pleasure, we feel calm and at ease if there is a cozy atmosphere.
