About the Collection Louis Poulsen AJ


The AJ reading lights by Louis Poulsen are Danish designer classics and very recognizable thanks to a remarkable shape. They were originally designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1957 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, later renamed Radisson Blu and now known as the Radisson Collection Hotel, Royal Copenhagen. Jacobsen designed the hotel from 1956 to 1960 as a total artwork, ranging from the architecture to the furniture and even the illumination. Beside some designs of furniture for the SAS Hotel, the AJ lights are now considered as designer classics for which the Dane is internationally famous.

The original AJ wall lamp was in the lobby when the hotel was opened for the first time and, together with the suspension AJ Royal, part of the furnishing concept. The profile of the AJ lights is considered to be the formal parallel of the seat's profile of the series 3300 and also related to the building's geometrical profiles. The hotel was outfitted with AJ models featuring copper and stainless steel surfaces. Light grey, dark brown and black also counted among the available surface colours. New colours were added in the course of time, on occasion of the AJ collection's anniversaries.

All AJ reading lamps have the characteristical oblique shade providing downwards directed light. Made of lacquered steel and die-cast zinc and without small details, AJ convinces with a functional clearness and a timeless elegance. The table and wall lamp have their on/off switch conveniently located on the wall base and table base and therefore within reach. The oblique shade is characteristic like the base with round hole of the table and floor lamps, which creates an impression of lightness.

The AJ collection includes a table lamp, a floor lamp and wall lamps for inside and for the exterior area. Since 2017, Louis Poulsen offers the iconic design in a large array of colours, to which new hues were added in 2020. The 60th anniversary of the SAS Hotel's opening was celebrated in 2020 with the relaunch of the AJ Mini table lamp. This small version of the AJ table lamp is ideally suited to be placed on window sills or bedside tables thanks to its small size.
