The FJ Elements 175table lamp, designed by Finn Juhl and edited by Louis Poulsen, is an iconic piece that combines art and functionality. Inspired by an original drawing from 1963, this creation reflects the sculptural approach of Juhl, while integrating the codes of Scandinavian design: sobriety, purity of lines and manufacturing quality. Composed of two half-spheres, the lampshade of the FJ Elements 175 is orientable and allows a subtle control of the light. Depending on its inclination, it diffuses direct or indirect lighting, ideal for creating a soft atmosphere on a bedside table, desk or console. Its compact format makes it a versatile lamp, suitable for both contemporary interiors and more classic spaces.
Danish brand Louis Poulsen was founded in 1874, originating from traditional Scandinavian design where form follows function. Louis Poulsen became the owner of the company in 1906 after the death of his uncle, Ludvig R. Poulsen. Louis Poulsen’s approach to architectural development began when he collaborated with one of the world’s leading lighting designers, Poul Henningsen. In 1924, the designer began collaborating with Louis Poulsen lighting; their objective was to take part in the "International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts". In 1925 the collaboration proved successful and the Poul Henningsen lamps won the gold medal. Following this victory, the two men marketed their products in France, England and Denmark.
