I owe part of my growth in Denmark to observing nature, the strength of its roots and its fruits. Several years ago I had the pleasure of taking a career in industrial design, and although this resulted in the formal decision to continue with the fine arts and particularly within the painting itinerary, I have not stopped thinking about the ways that the environment gives us to make them ours in our day by day. The Poul Henningsen's PH lamp design (1924), is one of those representations from the observation, but above all, from an idea: to illuminate without dazzling (like the Danish light, I believe). My interest in cross-cultural design but also in the belonging, helped by the hours in the sketchbook, brought me the idea of representing the PH together with that icon from my birthplace. So I wanted both “species” (the industrial and the natural) to talk about multiculturalism. Apart from the final canvas, @beautonart has made various editions from this work. since 2020 and for those who are interested in acquiring a copy. “Henningsens Træ” 54 × 65 Cm 21.26 × 25.59 In Chalk - Oil on Canvas Giclee-Print 2020 29.7 × 42 Cm 11.69 × 16.54 In Ink on paper @rafadesoja @beautonart #crosscultural #phlampe #palm #palmtrees #danishdesign #poulhenningsen #belonging #samtidskunst #limitededition #nordisk #tropical #danishdesign #stabilo #dibujo #sketch #sketchbook #drawing #drawingsketch #multicultural #multiculturalart #danmark https://www.instagram.com/p/CftP1BWDPMA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Setting the Mood

Lighting plays a multifaceted role in our lives, affecting the way we interact with our surroundings. It has huge practical and aesthetic influence and affects our mental and physical health, guiding mood and behaviour. Exposure to natural light can reduce eye strain and fatigue and stabilise the circadian rhythm - a system that uses lighting cues to influence chemical-releasing processes in the brain. However, our response to light extends beyond the natural light we receive...   

The field of lighting design has always invited a uniquely dynamic degree of experimentation. Artificial light has expanded our possibilities as we are no longer bound by the diurnal cycle. We utilise artificial lighting in our homes, setting mood by gradually changing the tonality and hue as the sun rises and sets.  

After the first incandescent bulbs were invented in the 1870s, the radiant world of artificial lighting was born and quickly adapted by designers and artisans within a few decades, with an extraordinary application of creativity and artistry. Art Nouveau embraced the electric light, applying their signature fluid style, inspired by the natural world, and translated into stained glass lamps with sinuous metalwork. Tiffany Studios and others created colourful stained glass lampshades, while in the early years of the 20th century, Mariano Fortuny created incredibly sophisticated pieces that seemed decades ahead of their time.  

Poul Henningsen was an expert in lighting theory and revolutionised the lighting design field, inventing mood lighting in the late 1920s when he produced his iconic, avant-garde, lamp series. Scientifically rigorous analysis of light refraction was applied - layered shades distributed the light providing diffused illumination. Henningsen combined functionality with beauty, but his philosophy went beyond aesthetics, often addressing social and environmental issues. He believed that good lighting design should improve the quality of life for people by creating pleasant environments.  

Henningsen’s divergent intellect had a profound effect on the lighting design industry, inspiring designers’ explosive creativity within the field. Today, the impact of lighting is revered to enhance experience, consequently, lighting products are greatly consumed as the right lighting promotes the aesthetics of products and spaces we inhabit.  

Contemporary emphasis on lighting has contributed to modern living and design through more than just aesthetics. Environmental concerns have led energy efficiency and sustainability to align with modern design principles. This has caused LEDs to be widely adopted due to their smaller carbon footprint than conventional incandescent or compact fluorescent lights. Also, eco-friendly materials and production practices have majorly influenced design considerations.  

Smart Lighting systems have changed our interactivity with lighting: automatic lighting uses motion sensors to control lights and the Internet of Things has enabled lighting systems to interact with smart devices, both creating a convenient and seamless living experience. Human-Centric Lighting explores the physiological and psychological impact of light on human health and performance. Considering circadian theories, it produces varying intensities, colours, and temperatures of light to mimic the diurnal cycle. Integrating daylight into architectural design harnesses sunlight so its natural patterns become evident to its inhabitants. HCL is tailored to optimise visibility and comfort: intense, white light is produced throughout the day, encouraging attentiveness, while warm, dim light, in the evening promotes relaxation for sleep. To maintain visual interest, different light levels are used throughout space, and flicker is eliminated as it is distracting and causes headaches.

PH 2/2 Luna Limited Edition from Louis Poulsen on Vimeo.

Originally introduced in 1939, the PH Luna was known as ‘The Night Stand Lamp’, a name given to the petite table lamp by its designer, Poul Henningsen. The characteristic curved form of the stem makes the PH Luna recognisable and the brushed brass finish is a soft and classic complement to the opal glass shades. Originally, PH Luna was just 230 mm tall, however in this new limited edition, this has been increased to suit the possible applications. The head of the lamp can be adjusted by rotating it to suit your lighting needs.

Louis Poulsen Icons from FRAME on Vimeo.

Classic design stands the test of time. As part of its Spring 2023 campaign, Louis Poulsen teamed up with Frame to create a series of films that encourage the viewer to (re)discover iconic designs by world renowned designers such as PH Artichoke by Poul Henningsen, Panthella by Verner Panton, AJ Floor by Arne Jacobsen and Patera by Øivind Slaatto.

In total, nine iconic lamps are featured in the campaign - two of which are exciting new introductions (AJ Garden Bollard & Patera Ø300), whilst one is a significant reintroduction - this being the AJ Oxford. Designed by Arne Jacobsen for the modernist St. Catherine’s College in Oxford, England in the 1960s, it is perhaps his most highly praised total work of art, and it is still used for teaching and student housing. Form playfully follows function in the AJ Oxford Table lamp, where the stem becomes the stand and the cord continues the visual line, with the sculptural shade balancing the expression.

The unique creative challenge for this campaign was to portray nine very distinct products (both iconic and new designs) in a coherent, sophisticated yet contemporary setting.

The films contain a series of carefully constructed compositions, featuring multiple products grouped together in an almost sculptural expression. These compositions, contrasted with the bold colour background and prominent type, attempt to convey a sense of the new and old, working together in perfect harmony. A bold new statement in the evolution of the Louis Poulsen brand.

Design I Prefer 

The design I focus most on in my life is food, interior and music design. When it comes to food, I prefer design that mimics the natural world -- i.e. the cake below incorporates a selection of imperfect elements (the cake is crooked, flower's are scraggly and placed at random) that form to create something beautiful.

When it comes to interior I prefer Nordic design. In other words, design that is minimalist, incorporates shapes that are informed by the natural world, and prioritises function over form. For example, the Poul Henningsen lamps.

When it comes to music design, I gravitate towards music that utilises "texture." Grimes uses both lo- and hi-fi sound qualities while mixing acoustic and synth. It's a textured muddle of bubblegum synth-pop and off-kilter club music.
