LC Shutters
Louis Poulsen has teamed up again with Danish/English designer Louise Campbell to produce a fourth lighting fixture. Like the others, this one also reflects innovative thinking.
No one can accuse Louise Campbell of repeating herself. Her creative side develops in step with the challenges she takes on, and this time she challenged both herself and Louis Poulsen.
It is said that simplicity is difficult, and that has certainly been the case here.
Louis Poulsen excels at developing and producing very precise, identical metal shades. These skills hail from the days of Poul Henningsen, and the ongoing production of his lights keeps them sharp as a daily discipline at our factory in Vejen, Denmark.
Louise Campbell's idea with the new lighting fixture was to create a fixture with a minimum of processes, based on a single shade. The process has literally been cut down to three basic elements: turning the shade, stamping the pattern, and painting.
All Louise Campbell’s lighting fixture have multiple layers, and this one is no exception. However, the extra layer is created by the same shade, and this was the crux of the challenge. A completely new tool was necessary. A tool which can stamp with millimetre precision, on a curved surface.
So now it has arrived. The name is LC Shutters, creating associations with the atmospheric light impressions you encounter when you stroll through a Southern European town in the evening. The shutters are either fully or partially closed, permitting numerous strips of light to escape and create a decorative façade. More private and intimate than the very open windows of Northern Europe.
Louise Campbell has this to say about her new light: "I aimed to draw attention to the balance between glare reduction and spreading the light in the room. The shade and diffuser are integrated. A single unit with a clear function – protecting against glare, creating atmosphere, but also diligently spreading the light. Despite the dense, hard material, the design expression is soft and friendly."
LC Shutters is very harmonious light. It is available in two versions – a completely white edition, and one with a pattern of various colours which helps create a completely different expression, whether the light is on or off.
LC Shutters not only protects against glare, it is 100% glare-free, and the light source is protected by a diffuser which shields direct viewing and also prevents it from being touched. The diffuser can be easily removed and cleaned – yet another factor which makes the light very maintenance friendly, both in the home and the workplace.
LC Shutters is a light which can be used in a wide range of settings. At first glance, many want to put it above their dining table at home. A logical choice, but the light has an amazing ability to blend into its surroundings in a natural way. Louis Poulsen often tests lighting fixture in various settings in connection with new launches, and LC Shutters demonstrated a remarkable ability to add a decorative and tasteful softness to its surroundings, helping to make rooms more human and communicative. LC Shutters produces honest lighting. A soft and diffuse light which provides ideal illumination for faces, without distracting shadows. It is therefore very suited for meeting rooms, where one wants to give communication the best possible conditions.
