Find energy-effi cient lightsource alternatives on www.louispoulsen.com Light is worth reflecting on Light means life, and good lighting appeals to our senses and makes us feel comfortable. Take your time when you are investing in new lighting facilities. Light should be bought with care. At Louis Poulsen we work with a lighting philosophy encompassing function, comfort and ambience. We combine professional lighting technology with aesthetic designs to create optimum and comfortable lighting. We make demands on ourselves – read more about these demands here. 3 Light should seem natural Daylight is considered to be the best and most genuine light. We use daylight to experience the world. Artifi cial lighting can only compensate for daylight, but we can achieve a good resemblance. Designers can derive inspiration from nature to complete their idiom. In her Collage series, Louise Campbell was inspired by how light refracts in tree foliage. The elliptical patterns simulate nature’s unique patterns. Collage fi xtures are like small light spots in our homes, where we can cocoon, while the world passes by. 5 Collage Louise Campbell found inspiration in nature’s own light source when she created Collage. The idea arose out of the image of sun rays finding their way through tree foliage, leaving a shimmering trace of light and shadow. The three shades of differing, cut patterns form the delicate effect, where light and shadow comes to life, constantly changing. The Collage series includes both a pendant and a floor lamp. Design: Louise Campbell. Collage Pendant & Floor. Light source: 100W A60 Frosted E27.

Since then, she has made a name for herself as one of Denmark’s best and most sparkling young designers. Louise Campbell has exhibited in Denmark and other countries, including Japan, Italy and Britain, and has received a number of awards and grants, including the Finn Juhl Architecture Prize and the Danish State Art Foundation’s three-year work grant. 8 Campbell 275 Campbell 210 Campbell Campbell 210/275 is the first result of the partnership between the young designer Louise Campbell and Louis Poulsen.

It is a practical device, but should at the same time be decorative and pure. Fixtures should delight the eye – whether lit or unlit. Arne Jacobsen’s design is highly praised among the world’s architects because of it’s precise idiom. It is simple, beautiful and extremely minimalist. 11 AJ Floor, Table & Wall Arne Jacobsen created the lighting fix- tures for the Radisson SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen – one of the first design hotels in the world. AJ was not only the architect of the building; he also designed all fixtures and fittings, e.g. furniture, cutlery, textiles and lighting fixtures. All these products have become modern classics. The AJ series focuses light where it is needed and the shades provide efficient shading. Design: Arne Jacobsen. AJ Floor. Light source: 60W A60 Frosted E27.

This is where we relax and recharge our batteries, so that we are ready for more experiences and challenges. Home lighting aff ects us more than most of us realise. In correct lighting, we relax and our eyes get a break. Of course, lighting must be correct. When at Louis Poulsen we create new fi xtures, we always strive to uphold the balance between function, comfort and ambience. We aim to create products that will enhance your breaks – such as the transparent Flindt series. 19 Flindt Pendant The Flindt series combines simple geometry with a high degree of visual complexity. The dual shades encompass a cylinder and a truncated cone, both weaved in white, matt vinyl string. The weaving technique fashions a three-dimensional, transparent idiom and patterns interchange when viewed from different angles. Design: Christian Flindt. Flindt 220/475 Pendant.

Christian Flindt’s ideas have been described as so innovative and visionary that they are almost art. Light should fascinate Poul Henningsen is the master lighting designer. He created functional and idiomatic designs that went on to gain acceptance and be celebrated all over the world. PH Artichoke is one of Poul Henningsen’s icons, the breathtaking fi xture emanating charisma and splendour. Whether in white, brushed steel or copper, PH Artichoke makes a statement in any room.

For Eline Hissink, the names didn’t register a blip. But she knew what she O wanted for the house she and her husband, Scott Yasharian, were building in Santa Monica: simplicity, function- ality, durability, and most of all, an absence of clutter. That checklist, she discovered, perfectly defined midcentury modern architecture. Culver City-based architects Brett Woods and Joseph Dangaran helped the Dutch-born Hissink realize the thrill of flinging open floor-length glass doors to the earth and sky. Along with other mod- ernist touches, the cactus garden was extended into the house, which was completed in 2015, and an opening was left in the patio overhang for the sun to shine through. The challenge for Hissink was to furnish the house in the spirit of its roots, and she found herself drawn to Danish midcentury decor. The chairs of Finn Juhl and Hans Wegner.

  • Scandi Navian Design Catalog
    SCANDI NAVIAN DESIGN CATALOG modernism101 rare design books Years ago—back when I was graphic designing—I did some print advertising work for my friend Daniel Kagay and his business White Wind Woodworking. During our collaboration I was struck by Kagay’s insistent referral to himself as a Cabinet Maker. Hunched over my light table reviewing 35mm slides of his wonderful furniture designs I thought Cabinet Maker the height of quaint modesty and humility. But like I said, that was a long time ago. Looking over the material gathered under the Scandinavian Design um- brella for this catalog I now understand the error of my youthful judgment. The annual exhibitions by The Cabinet-Makers Guild Copenhagen— featured prominently in early issues of Mobilia—helped me understand that Cabinet-Makers don’t necessarily exclude themselves from the high- est echelons of Furniture Design. In fact their fealty to craftsmanship and self-promotion are constants in the history of Scandinavian Design. The four Scandinavian countries, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland all share an attitude towards their Design cultures that are rightly viewed as the absolute apex of crafted excellence and institutional advocacy. From the first issue of Nyt Tidsskrift for Kunstindustri published by The Danish Society of Arts and Crafts in 1928 to MESTERVÆRKER: 100 ÅRS DANSK MØBELSNEDKERI [Danish Art Of Cabinetmaking] from the Danske Kunstindustrimuseum in 2000, Danish Designers and Craftsmen have benefited from an extraordinary collaboration between individuals, manufacturers, institutions, and governments. The countries that host organizations such as The Association of Danish Furniture Manufacturers, The Association of Furniture Dealers in Denmark, The Association of Interior Architects, The Association of Swedish Furni- ture Manufacturers, The Federation of Danish Textile Industries, Svenska Slojdforeningen, The Finnish Association of Designers Ornamo put the rest of the globe on notice that Design is an important cultural force deserv- ing the height of respect.

  • E-News from the Danish Immigrant Museum Excavation Begins for Curatorial Center
    OCTOBER 2013 E-News from The Danish Immigrant Museum Excavation Begins for Curatorial Center Heavy machines arrived on the grounds of The Danish Immigrant Museum this week to begin excavating the site of a new Curatorial Center addition. Excavators, loaders, and dump trucks moved many tons of dirt to clear space for the 8,000 square foot addition on the west side of the building. Orange fencing keeps the public at a safe distance from the construction site, but the best view is actually from a window inside the museum building. Along the west side of the first floor, a window offers both staff and visitors a great view of the work in progress. The general contractor for the Curatorial Center project is Meco-Henne Contracting based in Omaha. Site supervisor Gordon Roesler is on hand to keep everything moving smoothly. Photos of the progress can be found on the museum's Facebook page: www.facebook.com/danishmuseum Morning Star Chapel Moved; Additions to Jens Jensen Prairie Landscape Park September 22, 2013 was moving day.

The next time you are in Elk Horn, be sure to visit Morning Star Chapel in its new place near the VikingHjem and Mill Stage.

  • Historia Verner Panton
    Verner Panton VERNER PANTON (1926-1998) studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen before going on to work at Arne Jacobsen’s architectural practice. Verner Panton set up his own design studio in 1955. Panton is regarded today as one of the key figures within design in the second half of the 20th century. Verpan ApS - Egeskovvej 29 - 8700 Horsens - Denmark - Tel. +45 76 58 18 82 - Fax +45 75 61 00 05 - [email protected] - www.verpan.dk Verner Panton Verner Panton was born in the village of Gamtofte on the island of Funen in 1926. His father was a publican and innkeeper, who worked first at the inns in Haarslev and Mørkenborg and subsequently as tenant publican of the Komigen inn on the Langesø estate near Odense on Funen. It was here that Verner Panton spent his childhood as the oldest of two brothers, from the age of 10 and following his parents’ divorce with three half-brothers. His mother left Funen with Verner’s younger brother to live on the island of Lolland. Qualified architect Verner Panton originally wanted to be an artist, but his father was against this so, as a compromise, Verner Panton decided to become an architect and train at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture in Copenhagen. However, before commencing his architectural training he started his working life as a tradi- tional tradesman, as a bricklayer. In 1951 he qualified as an architect. Poul Henningsen and Arne Jacobsen While studying at the School of Architecture, Verner Panton met Tove Kemp, stepdaughter of the architect Poul Henningsen (PH).
