Story
Smaller and more discreet
Nyhavn Wall was designed by Alfred Homann and Ole V. Kjær in 1976. In Louis Poulsen's competition for lighting in old and heritage urban areas it took a prize. The fixture was meant to be smaller and more discreet than the other products on the market at that time.
Cone and rings
The conical shade directs comfortable light downwards in a wide beam, and its white matte painted interior gives uniform distribution. The three rings control stray light and send a small amount onto the top side of the shade for self-illumination.
