Another new arrival in Lane Crawford Pacific Place home store this week is Louis Poulsen’s AJ Lamps; commemorates the 50th anniversary of designer Arne Jacobsen’s iconic AJ Lamps, the brand has launched five new colours that are based on Jacobsen’s colour concept.
Considered one of the most influential Danish architects and designers of the 20th century and a name synonymous with Danish modernism, Arne Jacobsen’s sense of purity and simplicity is readily recognised in everything he designed. In terms of colours, the designer preferred soft tones and hues, which didn’t attract attention. In his opinion, the presence of an object should never stand out in any way or interfere with your experience.
The AJ series of lamps is the perfect expression of Jacobsen’s purist design mindset. Designed for the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Copenhagen in 1960, the asymmetric conical shape of the fixture head clearly delineates the direction of the light. In other words, you can imagine the light before it’s even switched on, because the light design is already built into the lamp. The five new colours are muted hues and will be available in a total of five rooms in Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, celebrating five decades of sublime simplicity.
