Designed in 1957 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, the AJ family is regarded all over the world as Jacobsen's best-known design. Defined by a beautifully slender frame, topped with a sleek pointed shade, the lamp's profile, with its straight lines and sharp right angles parallels the geometric, forward-thinking designs of Jacobsen's architecture. Available in a diverse range of contemporary colourways, the Original Grey and Steel reflect the original finishes selected by Jacobson for the SAS Hotel. Providing purposeful task lighting, with an adjustable shade, painted white on the inside to ensure a soft comfortable light, the lamp is ideal for positioning on a desk or side table.
Arne Jacobsen was one of Denmark’s most influential 20th century architects and designers. Jacobsen’s buildings and products meld modernist ideals with a Nordic love of naturalism.
Arne Jacobsen is synonymous with stunning Danish designer chairs and lighting. His most iconic designs include the Fritz Hansen Series 7 Chair, Egg Chair and the AJ Table Lamp for Louis Poulsen.
