Louis Poulsen Munkegaard 26.5 cm chrome/high gloss

Round LED recessed ceiling light Munkegaard - Design: Arne Jacobsen

The LED recessed ceiling luminaire Munkegaard looks like a floating glass pane under the ceiling. When switched off, it blends discreetly into the room design. As soon as the light is switched on, its complete charm is revealed and an impressive lighting effect unfolds. The opal glass diffuser emits the light homogeneously and glare-free over a large area, the metal end ring adds a further decorative accent.

Behind this timeless design is the Danish architect Arne Jacobsen, who opened his own architectural practice in 1929 - two years after studying architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen. He achieved world fame with his work. He designed buildings in Denmark, Germany and Great Britain, such as the National Bank in Copenhagen (1971), St. Catherine's College in Oxford and the administrative building of Vattenfall GmbH in Hamburg's City-Nord in the Winterhude district. Of his furniture designs, the "Egg" and the "Swan", which he created in 1960 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen that he planned, are among the best known.

For the manufacturing company Louis Poulsen, the desire to "transport the soft light of the Scandinavian summer into the impenetrable darkness of the Scandinavian winter" has always been in the foreground. In doing so, Louis Poulsen always follows the approach "form follows function".
