Louis Poulsen Nyhavn Wall Light

Manufacturer: Louis Poulsen | Designer: Alfred Homann & Ole V. Kjaer

A Wide Pool of Light Beneath a Conical Shade

Alfred Homann and Ole V. Kjaer's Nyhavn wall light combines a projecting arm with a broad conical shade. Its matt white interior spreads light downwards in a wide beam, making it a considered choice beside an entrance or along a wall where light is wanted on the space below.

Rings above the shade help control stray light while allowing a small amount to illuminate the top surface. This gives the fitting a presence after dark without relying solely on the beam beneath it. Choose the painted White finish for a quieter look, or Brushed Copper for a surface that changes with exposure and time.

The copper is untreated and will gradually develop a verdigris patina. During this process, the surface can appear uneven as different areas change at different rates. This variation is part of the intended ageing of the finish.
