Louis Poulsen YUH Floor Lamp

Manufacturer: Louis Poulsen

Designer: GamFratesi

One of the essential features of the lamp is that it is personal. The lamp is flexible and takes up very little space. It rotates, rises and drops, illuminating and creating ambience in the required area. A lamp created just around you.

“Our biggest challenge was to design the lamp so that it could be moved in several directions. We worked with three different types of movement on the axis: inclination, rotation and up and down. This made it very complex. It was a huge challenge, but there is a fantastic team of engineers at Louis Poulsen with whom we had a very good working relationship,” says Enrico Fratesi.

The lamp provides direct glare-free downward light. The angle of the shade can be adjusted to optimise light distribution. The slim opening at the top of the shade provides soft, ambient upward illumination.

"Our desire to incorporate a diffuser in the lamp stems from our respect for Poul Henningsen’s work as well as from our appreciation of indirect light. We like the fact that you do not see the light source and are not dazzled. With a diffuser, the light source is concealed, which we think makes the illumination very magical," says Stine Gam.
