AJ 50 Wall

Outdoor wall lights from Louis Poulsen, Designed by Arne Jacobsen

Product description

AJ 50 Wall was launched in 2010 in connection with the 50th anniversary of the launch of Arne Jacobsen’s AJ family. AJ 50 Wall was based on the AJ family, designed in 1960 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen (Radisson Blu), and was developed with the aim of providing outdoor lighting solutions in line with the world-renowned AJ design. The aim was also to exploit the latest energy-saving light source technology. The light was therefore developed for LED lighting.

Concept

Arne Jacobsen designed the AJ Lamp for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen (Radisson Collection) in 1957. Today, the AJ family is regarded as the design that the Danish architect is best known for all over the world. At that time, the AJ family comprised a table and a floor lamp as well as a wall lamp, a small table lamp and a table lamp that was designed to attach to the table. The wall lamp could be found in beautiful rows in stainless steel in the lobby when the hotel was opened in 1960. In combination with the pendant AJ Royal, the AJ Lamp formed part of the overall design concept that Jacobsen created for the hotel. Arne Jacobsen did not just design the hotel down to the smallest detail for SAS (Scandinavian Airlines), he also designed almost all the hotel’s original furniture and utility items. The profile of the AJ Lamp with its straight lines and its combination of oblique and right angles is not only seen as a formal parallel to the profile of the Series 3300 seats, but also to the geometric profiles of his buildings. The AJ Lamp was used in several parts of the hotel, in copper and stainless steel. Furthermore, it was originally available in light grey, dark brown and black like the AJ Pendant. New colours have since been introduced over the years in celebration of the series’ jubilees.
