    Frequently Asked Questions

    What defines Louis Poulsen lighting?

    Louis Poulsen lighting works on one idea: shades that are tiered, curved or slatted so they aim the light where you want it and screen the source, leaving a fitting calm instead of harsh; a single vintage lamp shows it. We keep the range at Eleish Van Breems Home for that soft, aimed glow.

    Which Louis Poulsen light suits a dining table?

    For a dining table, a Louis Poulsen pendant hung low over the centre pools its light on the table while shading the bulb from seated eyes; a portable vintage lamp covers a sideboard. Hang the Louis Poulsen lighting so the shade sits a little above head height when you stand.

    How does Louis Poulsen lighting shape a room's light?

    Across a room, Louis Poulsen fittings place light on purpose — pooled on a table, grazed along a wall, or thrown gently outward — instead of flooding everything flat; pair a pendant with a sconce. Build the scheme in layers so no single source ever dominates.

    What care does a Louis Poulsen fixture need?

    Louis Poulsen lighting keeps well with regular dusting and a soft dry cloth over the shades; have the electrical components checked by a qualified electrician when required, and never wet the fitting, with other wall pieces under sconces. Warm bulbs suit the soft, directed design well.
