Founded in 1874, Louis Poulsen is a Danish lighting manufacturer born out of the Scandinavian design tradition where form follows function. The function and design of their products are tailored to reflect and support the rhythm of natural light. From the icons of the 1920s to more recent designs, all Louis Poulsen lighting is created based on a respect for architecture, understanding the emotional effect of lighting and the belief that shadow is just as aesthetically important as light. Every detail in the design has a purpose. Every design starts and ends with light.
