Munkegaard led louis poulsen Design: Arne Jacobsen

Munkegaard Developed and created for the legendary Munkegård School in Gentofte, Denmark, in 1955, but since spread all over the world and used in everything from private residences to universities. Munkegaard is a design icon, and the ideas behind the fixture and its presence in the room are so special that it is actually possible to talk of a product design without any kind of architectural or cultural limitations. Munkegaard is a carefully designed lighting fixture with regard to both its design idiom and its lighting concept. The open slots close to the ceiling surface and the trumpet-shaped...

Light technology – increased comfort & efficiency Munkegaard emits a gentle, diffuse, downward directed light through a newly designed diffuser built up in a 2-layer principle: a clear, toughened glass disc below and an opal acrylic disc above. This set-up ensures retention of the original comfortable light emission. The challenge has always been to ensure a uniform surface on the fixture to avoid strong points of luminance, allowing the fixture to blend seamlessly into the ceiling surface without creating extra points. The new design has solved this problem, thus making more efficient use of...

1. Fixture body • easy to install • easy to service 2. LED board 3000K/4000K • easy to fit/replace • optimised for each size 3. Diffuser, 2-layer glass construction illuminates the ceiling surface • improved efficiency • toughened glass

Simple & carefully designed No unnecessary parts. In principle, the Munkegaard LED comprises three parts: 1. Fixture housing 2. LED board 3. Diffuser The LED board is available in a 3000K and a 4000K version, and is also dimmable. The service life of the LED board and driver is 50,000 hours. This makes the Munkegaard an asset to any installation. Moreover, with the LED versions we have made it possible to reduce the recessing height of the Ø 265 model, neatly expanding the range of application options.

Design: Arne Jacobsen Concept: The fixture looks like a disc hovering just below the ceiling - an impression primarily created by the illuminated opening and the suspended placement of the fixture below the mounting surface. The 2-layer glass/acrylic shade ensures uniform, gently diffuse lighting. This fixture gives the room the illusion of extra height. Finish: High lustre chrome plated or satin chrome plated. Matt-white acrylic/toughened clear glass. Material: Shade: 2-layer: matt-white acrylic and toughened glass. Edge ring: High lustre chrome plated or satin chrome plated, brass. Mounting:...
