PHOTO COURTESY OF LOUIS POULSEN
Copenhagen is the hub of Scandinavian design. So if you’re all about style-making interior pieces that stand the test of time, put Louis Poulsen on your radar. The exceptional creations of the Danish lighting company, which established in 1874, converge on the duality of design and light.
Its flattering fixtures strike the perfect balance between light and dark, form and function, and modern and classic. All reasons to explain why many Louis Poulsen signature creations remain favoured timeless classics even today.

These include definitive designs, such as the PH3/2 Table Lamp and PH 3/3 Pendant. Both part of the brand’s latest Pale Rose collection, a line-up boasting seven reimagined icons in a pretty pink palette. Inspired by contemporary design trends and the interplay between colour and light, each imparts a soft, warm glow and a touch of subtle elegance.
And as with all Louis Poulsen masterpieces, their production is to the highest specifications in order to last a lifetime. No detail is left out, from elements made of brushed brass with fine hairlines that follow the form of the lamp to mouth-blown opal glass shades and hand-assembled pieces.
Prices begin at SGD745 for the VL 45 Pale Rose Pendant in 175mm that features a four-layer mouth-blown opal glass shade. At the other end of the spectrum, the statement PH Artichoke Pale Rose commands a rather eye-watering SGD18,925. A justifiable price when you consider what it takes to carefully mount 72 leaves on the frame by hand.
Whether it’s ambient lighting to set a cosy tone or an accent piece with architectural details you seek, the Pale Rose collection is definitely worth a look. They are exclusively available at the Louis Poulsen's Store & Showroom at 5 Purvis Street, as well as Grafunkt and Xtra.
