Louis Poulsen

In 1924, Poul Henningsen created his influential Paris lamp for Louis Poulsen, and the origin of how we still design to shape light can directly be traced back to his views on the dualities of design and light.

The lamps in this app were all originally designed by Poul Henningsen in 1958, celebrating 60 years anniversary in 2018.

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 our products are tailored to reflect and support the rhythm of natural light. Every detail in the design has a purpose. Every design starts and ends with light.

The app:

With this app you have the opportunity to experience a selected range of iconic design pendants in your own home.

The app is an augmented reality app presenting 4 lamps as 3D models in different sizes, colors and materials.

Augmented reality allows for placing 3D models in your space, so the viewer through an iPhone can experience close-to what it will look like if one of these design lamps was placed in their own home.

The measurements, location and size of the lamps gives you an indication of what it would look like in reality, but it is not to be seen as fully accurate.

We hope you will enjoy the experience.
