Louis Poulsen AJ Eklipta Wall / Ceiling Light

Manufacturer: Louis Poulsen | Designer: Arne Jacobsen

Designed for Architecture

Arne Jacobsen designed the AJ Eklipta in 1956 for Rødovre Town Hall, using the 35cm and 45cm versions on indoor stairways and exterior walls. The smaller 22cm size followed for St Catherine's College in Oxford. Its simple circular form sits quietly within a building, whether used alone beside a doorway or repeated along a hallway.

The mouth-blown, three-layer opal glass spreads light softly across the surface, while a transparent edge creates a delicate halo around the shade. A white powder-coated aluminium housing keeps the construction understated. Choose the smaller size for a compact wall or ceiling position, or use the larger versions where a broader disc of light suits the space.
