Story
The Louis Poulsen design team
The Louis Poulsen design team built the Toldbod family on the light distribution of the PH Ellipse reflector, the last street light concept by Poul Henningsen.
Simplicity
The pendant is based on the philosophy that the simpler the design, the greater its flexibility. It directs most of its light downward, in line with Poul Henningsen's idea of shaping light without shining it into people's eyes.
