Louis Poulsen "Waggon" wall light, 1960

Superb and rare Louis Poulsen design light fixture from the 1960s, no longer in production today. Although Louis Poulsen is best known for its iconic lights, such as the PH5, designed in collaboration with Poul Henningsen, or the AJ lamp conceived by Arne Jacobsen, the "Waggon" model is no less impressive, both for its innovative design and unique aesthetic. In the early 1960s, the Louis Poulsen brand drew inspiration from the old light fixtures found in the first-class carriages of Danish trains. The aim was to create a recessed light fixture as discreet as possible, resulting in an aluminium structure covered with a brass disc, featuring a curved, frosted opal glass shade. With its rounded shape and elegant combination of brass and glass, this light fixture is a true gem. When lit, it emits a soft and pleasant light through the frosted glass, without glare, while the brass ring creates a lovely contrast. It works perfectly with a standard E27 bulb (included). This light fixture can be used as a wall sconce or a ceiling light. The "Louis Poulsen" label is present on the fixture, ensuring its authenticity. Lovely patina, with some signs of wear that testify to its history. Dimensions: ø24 cm x D. 12 cm.
