Louis Poulsen Collage 450/600 Pendant Light
COLLAGE 450/600 PENDANT LIGHT
COLLAGE 450/600 PENDANT LIGHT
Desgined by Louise Campbell
The fixture emits diffused light directed primarily downwards.
The patterns on the three lasercut acrylic shades have been carefully staggered with the aim of eliminating unpleasant glare from the light source.
The patterns differ between the shades, resulting in different perceptions of light and shadow depending on the viewing angle. A soft and comfortable light will be obtained by mounting the lower antiglare shade.
DESIGNER
LOUISE CAMPBELL
Louise Campbell was born in Copenhagen in 1970. Being the daughter of a Danish father and an English mother, she grew up and was educated in both countries.
After graduating from the London College of Furniture in 1992, she returned to Denmark and continued her studies in Industrial Design at Denmark's Design School, graduating from here in 1995.
She set up her own studio in 1996, from where she has worked independently since. Her main focus is on furniture and lighting design, but the studio is increasingly involved in product and interior design projects as well.
Louise Campbell’s work is playful and experimental, and is increasingly gaining a reputation for gently twisting not only every day objects and situations, but also materials and manufacturing processes in new directions.
The combination of Scandinavian rationalism and femininity, and perhaps her dual nationality, give the works of Louise Campbell an unusual edge. Illustrating contrasts seem to be an issue that keeps returning in her work.
The studio is also known for its interest in less commercial activities. Apart from being the curator and designer of exhibitions, Louise Campbell has taken part in numerous activities aiming at improving the design environment in Denmark.
Among these initiatives is ‘Walk the Plank’, a collaboration lasting seven years between 30 furniture designers and 60 cabinet makers, all of whom donated their time and original design for a truly fine cause.
There are a few ground rules the studio aims to abide by: Always start from scratch. Everything is possible until the opposite has been proven.
There must be a good reason for every single decision made. Among different awards achieved by Louise Campbell, she won the IF Product Design Award in gold for “Campbell Pendant” in 2005, which she designed specifically for Louis Poulsen.

DESIGN TO SHAPE LIGHT
Louis Poulsen has always sought, not only to design lamps, but also to shape light and create an atmosphere that makes people feel good, both in- and outdoors. The shape of light creates space and our products should live harmoniously within the space they define - indirect, soft and inviting.
DIMMING
In the following list of products Louis Poulsen have included lamp supplies information about dimming. Louis Poulsen recommends contacting lamp supplier for detailed information about the lamps dimming properties.
ENERGY LABELLING
The energy labelling indicates the energy consumption classes for the light source used in the fixture. The energy consumption does not indicate how much energy the fixture uses or how efficient the fixture is. It only indicates the efficiency of the light source used in the luminaire. The energy labelling does not take other qualitative parameters into account which are important for the consumer and imperative for Louis Poulsen.

STORY
THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT
The Collage pendant was designed by Louise Campbell and launched in 2005.
It was displayed for the first time at an exhibition at the Copenhagen furniture fair in 2004 along with the Campbell pendant and 14 other experimental light prototypes presenting new ways to interpret light.
The Campbell pendant was the first fixture to be put into production. The Collage pendant was launched the following year, in part due to the considerable amount of attention it received at the fair. Louise Campbell has always been very preoccupied with daylight in her work with lighting.
Her aim with the Collage pendant was therefore to imitate daylight.
Louise Campbell: ""The most obvious contrast between daylight and artificial light is that nature only has one light source, and you never look directly into it. Our perception of light is based on countless natural layers which filter and reflect the light."" These observations have been integrated into both the Campbell and Collage pendants. In the Collage pendant, the number of layers has been increased and the pattern, light and shadows more closely replicate the uncontrollable light seen in nature.
