AJ Floor lamp by Arne Jacobsen

With the AJ floor lamps, the designer Arne Jacobsen is honoured Louis Poulsen and celebrates the 60th anniversary of the AJ lamp series. The collection includes both classic and contemporary colours, which have been carefully selected to match Arne Jacobsen's existing colour world. Dark green, ochre, rust red, midnight blue, aubergine and two shades of grey are available.

Floor lamp for SAS Royal Hotel

The AJ floor lamp is a design for the Radisson SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, which was inaugurated in 1960. Arne Jacobsen not only created the building, he also designed the entire interior, including furniture, cutlery, textiles and lighting, creating one of the world's first design hotels.

Pivoting umbrella in asymmetrical shape

The AJ floor lamp stands out with its unusual, swivelling shade, whose asymmetrical shape distributes the light accordingly. The lamp base with the characteristic opening contributes to the elegance and weightlessness of the design. Thus it has long since become one of the modern classics of the design of the 20. Century.

Conical metal shield

The angles of the conical metal shade are designed to match the angle of the lamp holder. At least that was the original idea, but in reality the angle was slightly adjusted as an optical correction. When the lamp is tilted down, the edge of the lamp holder is horizontal. The inside of the shade is enamelled matt white. The shielding is efficient, you cannot see into the light source.

Rumour has it that the hole in the base of the lamp was originally intended for an ashtray.
