The story of Louis Poulsen Lighting starts in the year 1874, when Ludvig R. Poulsen established a wine import company in Copenhagen. Following his death in 1906 his nephew, one Louis Poulsen, took over the company; a company which by now had switched its focus to metal and tool production, and which eventually also turned to lighting. In context of the 1924 International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Paris - "Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs & Industriels Moderne" - Louis Poulsen began what was to become a long and productive cooperation with Danish designer Poul Henningsen; beginning in 1926 with the launch of the first PH lamp. In addition to producing the works of Henningsen in both their original form and as anniversary re-editions, Louis Poulsen has also released further Danish lamp designs classics such as, for example, Arne Jacobsen AJ lamps from 1960 or Verner Panton Panthella from 1971. In addition Louis Poulsen is very active in the field of outdoor lighting, in particular developing lighting projects in collaboration with architects.
