Louis Poulsen Lighting

Louis Poulsen is a prestigious Danish lighting manufacturer founded in 1874 by Ludvig R. Poulsen. The company gained international fame through its collaboration with designer Poul Henningsen in the 1920s, resulting in the iconic PH-lamp series designed to reduce glare and optimize light distribution.

The brand is a cornerstone of Scandinavian design, emphasizing the principle that form follows function. Throughout its history, Louis Poulsen has collaborated with visionary architects and designers like Arne Jacobsen and Verner Panton, creating lighting solutions for both private residences and major architectural projects worldwide.

In recent years, the ownership has changed hands through various investment groups. Following an acquisition by Investindustrial in 2018, Louis Poulsen became part of Design Holding, a global leader in high-end design that also manages brands like B&B Italia and Flos. Most manufacturing remains centered in Vejen, Denmark, maintaining its heritage of craftsmanship while scaling via its global parent company.
