DESIGNER
ALFRED HOMANN
Multi-award-winning architect and designer Alfred Homann was born in Denmark in 1948 and was 30 years old when he founded his first design studio in Copenhagen. Two years before that, in 1976, he graduated as an architect from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. While he was a student, he worked for various Danish and American architects.
Over the past 40 years, Homann has designed more than ten product lines or 50 different fixtures (such as Nyhavn, Strata, Homann Wall, Rappe Louis, Pulsar system, Kipp Family, AH system, AH Wall system, AH Mini, and Homann Park), all in collaboration with Louis Poulsen, the only lighting manufacturer he has ever teamed up with.
All his products are characterised by the fact that the fixture forms the light and the light forms the fixture. All Homann’s designs are imbued with his thoroughness and attention to detail, which are defining of the era of Danish minimalism and functionalism. Homann himself refers to simplicity, clarity and logic as the key words that describe his work.
Homann takes a holistic approach, seeking out connections between the object to be designed and the purpose it serves. First comes the sketching as a kind of clarification process. Next, the main idea is chosen, followed by a prototype.
This is particularly important to Homann, as drawings cannot depict what he describes as light’s fourth dimension. After that, a long process of fine-tuning the product begins in which the chosen production methods are applied.
In addition to his studio in Copenhagen, Alfred Homann established Homann Design Inc. in the United States in 1987-95, where he worked on many different projects and products. His work history testifies to a productive career, which includes several architectural projects as well as furniture designs.
Over the years, Alfred Homann has won numerous awards for his buildings, furniture and light fixtures as well as presenting awards to others when he served on the jury of the Danish Industrial Design Prize and other awards. Homann has also travelled the world as a visiting professor, giving lectures as well as exhibiting his designs across the world.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Alfred Homann designed Kipp Post in 1997 for urban environments where both functional and pleasant lighting comfort was desired. A bollard and wall light were added to the family 1999. During development of the Kipp family, emphasis was given to easy maintenance and bulb changes.
The aim was for the models to have an expression which made them suited to both modern and classic architecture. The LED version was launched in 2010.
