PATERA | Louis Poulsen

Mathematical light with organic elegance

The Patera collection by Louis Poulsen, designed by Øivind Slaatto, is a luminous sculpture composed of geometrically arranged cells that deliver glare-free, warm and ambient light. It is ideal for modern interiors, including dining areas, living rooms, hotels and lobbies.

Handwoven lighting craft

Each Patera lamp is handwoven by skilled artisans. The layered design produces a soft glow that mimics light filtered through nature, like sunlight through leaves. Available in multiple sizes – Patera 300, 450, 600, 900 – and in the oval version, this collection adapts to both large spaces and lower ceilings.

Patera Oval: the flat, elegant version

The Patera Oval offers a sleeker silhouette, ideal for low ceilings or above dining tables. It retains the 360° soft light of the classic version, while fitting seamlessly into contemporary spaces.

Premium materials and Louis Poulsen craftsmanship

Every Patera pendant is made from high-quality materials, compatible with E27 bulbs or available with integrated LED. Designed with sustainability in mind, it creates balanced, shadow-free light across the room.
