Outdoor lighting in sync with its environment Louis Poulsen’s every solution for shaping light outdoors is rooted in a deep knowledge of the demands of city- and landscape illumination - and an understanding of the combination of design and technology that results in optimal human experiences outdoors. The way we shape light can be traced back to Poul Henningsen and his views on the dualities of light and design: darkness and illumination, form and function, modern and classic. In our continued work with...

At Louis Poulsen, we shape light. We strive to create an atmosphere where people feel comfortable, welcome and relaxed. Every design decision is based on the illumination each shape creates, with every single surface and curve working to create precisely the right ambience. Form follows function, resulting in unforgettable luminaires that humanise spaces. For us, shaping light means creating an atmosphere that helps people feel good, wherever they are. To that end, our outdoor product portfolio combines high and low lighting and offers solutions that enter into harmonious dialogue with any outdoor...

Every space in its right light We use and navigate the city in many different ways: we drive, walk, bike and skate. The new mixed industrialrecreational areas such as harbour front lead to new ways of designing and combining different lighting. Both the purposes and functions of an urban space need to be considered when planning the lighting in an area.

A vision for modern cities For millennia, town and city lights have enhanced our safety, allowing us to navigate the outdoors at any time of day or night. Today, light plays an ever-more important and varied role in urban setting as we move between home, work, shopping, and leisure activities – or simply explore and enjoy our surroundings. Intelligent, aesthetically pleasing lighting systems are essential to helping us to feel our best. What’s more, they help strengthen our connection to our natural and man-made surroundings. Lighting in city centres can be as diverse as the areas themselves....

Guiding while delighting Outdoor landscapes – from public parks to university campuses – can be transformed through thoughtfully designed lighting plans that balance aesthetics and functionality. Landscape lighting is critical for making these spaces useful, not to mention safer, after dark. But it’s also essential that the lighting design highlights the identity of a place as well as its uses – and helps lend form and ambience to the landscape architecture. When lighting is integrated into landscape planning from a project’s earliest phases, the overall impact of the completed space is always...

Beacons of light In these multi-purpose waterfront zones, which often invite recreational use, the ideal atmosphere is created through a pairing of soft lighting installed close to buildings and numerous posts and bollards that define the parameters of the space while guiding passers-by. Placing the right bollards close to the waterfront is particularly important, as they not only help people navigate on the pier but also ensure that the light does not disturb maritime traffic. The Louis Poulsen outdoor collection offers a wide range of lighting concepts that facilitate the process of safe placemaking,...

Lighting that defines our experience of architecture The process of illuminating architecture must address quite a few considerations. How and when are the buildings used? Are they residential or public? Places of work or leisure? And, essentially: how can they be made more accessible, more beautiful, and more in sync with their surroundings through outdoor lighting? Louis Poulsen’s outdoor product portfolio offers solutions to complement and enhance spaces around building from the thoroughly classic to the ultra-modern. They accentuate our sense of a place’s history and context, and give us...
