Discover the AJ Royal 250 Pendant Lamp by Louis Poulsen, a Design Legacy by Arne Jacobsen
The AJ Royal 250 pendant lamp stands as a testament to the creative genius of Arne Jacobsen, originally designed to adorn the interior of the famous SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen (Radisson Collection) in 1957. This luminous work of art was a central piece in the decor of the snack bar behind the atrium, the first-floor lounge, and the panoramic lounge on the 21st floor. Inspired by the towering architecture of New York skyscrapers, this lamp came into being concurrently with the opening of Copenhagen's first true skyscraper in 1960, marking a turning point in Jacobsen's approach to simple geometric forms, which would later characterize his future projects. The AJ Royal was not just part of the lighting arrangement but embodied the overall decorative concept Jacobsen had envisioned for the hotel, showcasing his dedication to creating a space where every detail, from furniture to lighting, reflected his aesthetic vision.
A Classic Style Reinterpreted
Available today in black and white, the AJ Royal 250 pendant lamp pays tribute to its heritage while perfectly adapting to modern interiors. Its design facilitates directed lighting downwards while emitting a soft and pleasant light upwards through strategically placed slots at the top of the lamp. The integrated LED technology ensures maximum energy efficiency, providing glare-free illumination thanks to a frosted acrylic diffuser.
Innovative Lighting Technology
Equipped with a 2700K 8W LED light source, the AJ Royal 250 stands as a model of efficiency, offering a dimmable option via Dali for a personalized ambiance. The availability in two color temperatures, 2700k and 3000k, along with the phase-dimming option in black and 2700K only, offers unparalleled flexibility to adapt to any interior environment.

The packaging in fabric and recycled cardboard further underlines this commitment to sustainability.
