while louis poulsen is best known for other iconic lighting fixtures, the "waggon" model is every bit as remarkable as its other icons, thanks to its innovative design, minimalism, and unique aesthetic.

in the early 1960s, louis poulsen drew inspiration from the vintage lighting fixtures found in the first-class carriages of danish trains. The goal was to create a recessed light fixture that was as discreet as possible, resulting in an aluminum structure covered with a brass disc and a curved, frosted opal glass shade.

with its rounded shape and elegant combination of brass and glass, this light fixture is a true gem. When lit, it diffuses a soft, pleasant light through the frosted glass, without glare, while the brass ring creates a beautiful contrast. This wall light, which can also be used as a ceiling light, works perfectly with a standard e27 bulb (included). Three are available. The visual effect is particularly striking when displayed in sets of three.

the "louis poulsen" label is present, guaranteeing its authenticity on two of the three wall sconces. The third shows traces of the original label.

they have a lovely patina, with some signs of wear that attest to their history.

a unique vintage piece for design enthusiasts.
