Louis Poulsen's Circle was designed by Mikkel Beedholm/KHR arkitekter to be a ceiling light with character. The colored 'collar' interplays with the building's architecture, adding an extra dimension to the interior through the reflection of light. The colored rings reduce glare, highlight the shape of the luminaire, and add color in both their lit and unlit state.
The fixture emits diffuse light via a high-efficiency acrylic diffuser. The diffuser, which is encircled by a colored or white ring, is hidden when viewed from low angles. Angling the inner side of the ring 5° creates a comfortable and decorative graduation of light from the diffuser.
