In 1924, Poul Henningsen designed his influential Paris lamp for Louis Poulsen, and the origin of the design shaping light can be traced back to his vision of the interplay between design and illumination.

Founded in 1874, Louis Poulsen is a Danish lighting company rooted in the tradition of Scandinavian design where form follows function. The function and design of our products are crafted to reflect and support the rhythm of natural light. Every design detail has a purpose; every design begins and ends with light.

We believe in craftsmanship done with passion that produces quality lighting and design products that are pleasing to both look at and use.

In close collaboration with designers, architects, and other talents like Poul Henningsen, Arne Jacobsen, Verner Panton, Øivind Slaatto, Alfred Homann, Oki Sato, and Louise Campbell, Louis Poulsen has positioned itself as a leading provider of architectural and decorative lighting. Beyond any traditional category, our products cater to both public and private lighting sectors with applications suitable for interiors and exteriors.

In both cases, our offerings demonstrate the simplicity and beauty of design. Our goal is to create an atmosphere that influences spaces and people.

Design to shape light.
