LP Grand Surface by Louis Poulsen

The first LP Grand came into existence in 2016 after Louis Poulsen approached the prize-winning Danish designer Christian Flindt with a request. Louis Poulsen wanted Flindt to develop a scalable pendant for large spaces. It should take up little roomand incorporate Louis Poulsens DNA of Design to Shape Light, even on a large scale. Flindt returned with the elegant LP Grand, which combines direct and reflected light in and between its shade of beautifully curved and open rings, ensuring glare-free light of the highest qualitywhile providing a warm and pleasant ambiance. Flindt himself has referred to the LP Grand as, “the sun on a day, where it glows through misty air, softening the light.” In 2022, Flindt has designed the latest addition to the Grand series of pendants in collaboration with Louis Poulsenthe LP Grand 320. 320 refers to the fixture’s diameter, making it the smallest of the LP Grands so far. The LP Grand 320 includes a warmer light temperature of 2700K and phase dimming. These new features make this most recent pendant and wall lamp far more applicablenot only in homes but also in hospitality environments like hotel lobbies and reception areas, and in meeting rooms, offices, and libraries.

Light concept
The circular luminaire emits a combination of softly diffused, glare-free, downwardly directed light and reflected indirect light from its curved upper rings. A large angled reflector encircles the diffuser and reduces the contrast around the edge. The top reflector is perfectly curved to distribute uplight at a broad angle. A colored outer shade surrounds the reflector and creates an interreflection of light, resulting in a graceful glow on the outside of the top and bottom reflectors. In total, it creates four rings of light surrounding the central diffuser.
