Information

This ceiling lamp, model A 50, was produced by the renowned Danish lighting manufacturer Louis Poulsen in the 1930s. It features a layered, disc-like form composed primarily of copper with a yellow-painted interior, creating a warm, reflective surface that enhances the diffusion of light. The lamp measures 50 cm in diameter and has a height of 44 cm.

The design is characterized by concentric circular shapes that taper inward toward the light source, creating a tiered effect that is both functional and decorative. The use of copper gives the lamp a distinct reddish-brown hue on the exterior, which contrasts with the bright yellow inside, designed to optimize light reflection. The lamp hangs from a slender rod and a rounded ceiling mount, both finished in a darker metallic tone that complements the copper shade.

Louis Poulsen, established in 1874, is known for collaborating with prominent designers to create lighting that emphasizes both form and function.

The lamp is in excellent condition, with minor patina consistent with age and use, which adds to its authenticity and vintage appeal. The yellow paint inside the shade remains vibrant, and the copper surfaces have a natural finish without significant damage or corrosion.
