LP Shutters

The perforated shade softens the otherwise cold, hard and solid aluminium, adding not only visual lightness, but also literally illuminating the outside of the shade itself. The design aim was to create a light which never blinds the eye, yet gives plenty of functional light, whilst maintaining a gentle and warm atmosphere.
The given task was to design a pendant, which could be produced at Louis Poulsen’s own factory in Vejen, Denmark, which specializes in working with sheet metal. Shutters, although being finely detailed, is produced through three steps only:
– Aluminium sheet is hand turned into shape
– Pattern and structure is simultaneously cut and pressed into the form
– Shade is spray-painted
