Louis Poulsen Aj Royal pendant lamp 50 cm black

The AJ Royal is part of the designs created by Arne Jacobsen in 1957 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen (Radisson Collection). Here it can be found in the copper version above the tables in the bar behind the atrium, in the lounge on the first floor and in the Panorama Lounge on the 21st floor. The hotel opened in 1960 and with its 22 floors it was the first real skyscraper in Copenhagen, inspired by those in New York. At the time, the lamp was simply called the AJ Pendant. The segmented spherical shape from 1957 is considered to be Jacobsen's first steps towards returning to the basic geometric shapes that characterise the famous Danish architect's later creations. The AJ Royal was part of an overall design concept developed by Jacobsen especially for the hotel, of which a series of designs have contributed to making it iconic. Jacobsen not only designed the hotel down to the last detail for SAS (Scandinavian Airlines), but also contributed to the design of almost all the original furnishings and service accessories. The lamps are probably the most well-known worldwide, including the AJ from 1957. The AJ Royal was originally produced in three colors: light gray, dark brown and black. The AJ Royal is available in white, in its two original sizes. In 2020, a smaller version was introduced to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the hotel's opening, at the same time as the series is being reintroduced in black. The AJ Royal retains its classic and more graphic look to illuminate a dining table, an office or a showroom, where it provides uniform and perfect lighting directed downwards while creating atmosphere in any environment with its soft light directed upwards.

Lighting system

The pendant is available in three sizes and features ridges on the top that filter a soft light upwards. All three sizes of the new energy-saving LED version are equipped with a diffuser for 100% glare-free lighting.
