Louis Poulsen AJ Table Lamp

Manufacturer: Louis Poulsen | Designer: Arne Jacobsen

From Hotel Commission to Design Icon

Like every lamp in the AJ family, the AJ Table was born from Jacobsen's 1957 commission for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen - a project in which he controlled everything from the architecture to the furniture, fittings, and light. The AJ Table could be found throughout the hotel after its inauguration in 1960, finished in copper and stainless steel, and has since become one of the most recognised table lamps in the world.

The Design

The AJ Table emits soft, downward-directed light from a white-painted inner shade. The shade can be tilted approximately 90 degrees up and down, allowing light distribution to be adjusted to suit the setting - making it equally at home on a desk or bedside table. Available in White, Black, Pale Petroleum, Warm Sand, Soft Lemon, Electric Orange, Dusty Blue, Warm Grey, and Stainless Steel Polished.
