Louis Poulsen Moser Suspended lamp 25 cm white

The sculptural chromed aluminum floor lamp is equipped with a rotating disc that allows you to customize the reflection of the glare-free light emitted by the LED light source elegantly hidden in the frame. The disk rotates 360° around its axis and is white on one side and reflective on the other. Orientated towards the white side, the light becomes soft and diffused, while the opposite chrome side directly reflects the light panel to create a totally different expression. The light is directed according to the position of the disk. The surrounding environment is reflected in the frame and the chrome side of the disc. The lamp offers continuous dimming and is turned on and off with the rotary foot switch positioned on the cylinder.

A lamp to live in

Today a Moonsetter lamp dominates the Anne Boysen's living room, under her study, on the first floor of a splendid Funkis villa where she lives with her family in Køge, outside Copenhagen. It looks big. She laughs and confirms that it is.

"The Moonsetter lamp was created to be large. It must have a certain volume so that the observer can perceive it with the whole body. This is the basic idea, to understand how the observer perceives light . So, I made it big enough so you can use your arms and legs and take it with your whole body."

Anne shows us that the white side of the disc delicately diffuses the LED light, immersed in the frame, while, by rotating the disc on its axis, the mirror-polished aluminum side reflects the light. Furthermore, it is possible to adjust the light with the foot via a switch which also acts as a dimmer.

"The fantastic thing, I think, is that the lamp is perceived in ever-changing ways. Adjustable lamps are often kept in a fixed position. Instead, people tell me that they never stop moving this lamp, because they play with it. In our house we rotate it a little every day. And, depending on its position and the point from which you observe it, the lamp reflects different parts of the room and in a certain way becomes an object, merging at the same time with the room".

"I BELIEVE THAT ALL THE LOVE AND ATTENTION I PUT INTO MY DESIGNS ARE TRANSMITTED TO OTHER PEOPLE".

Great simplicity

Looking at Moonsetter, it doesn't seem like the kind of lamp that can be created in a couple of days. Instead, that's exactly how it went. The televised competition had strict deadlines, so Anne Boysen knew she had to have something ready to show her team of craftsmen on Monday, after receiving instructions late Thursday evening.

So, as she does every time she starts a new assignment, Anne Boysen sent her family to the countryside for a few days, to have the house free and concentrate on the instructions received. On Friday evening, there was a full moon and Anne Boysen, sitting at her desk behind closed curtains trying to fulfill her assignment, suddenly saw it.

"The moonlight filtered through a small gap between the curtains and a ray fell on my desk, where there was a mirror that I had used to create a sofa. I looked at the mirror, which reflected the light of the moon. So I rotated it and played with it, thinking about the power of light rays."

Anne Boysen began recovering materials from the dustbin, observing what happened by placing a piece of white cardboard and other materials in front of the light, impressed by how much the atmosphere and light changed depending on the materials used. The concept of Moonsetter soon became clear.

Amazement

She remembers making a model to show to her lighting engineer and her team of craftsmen. And even though it was ugly, as she says, it did the job. The idea, the depth and simplicity of the model of the lamp convinced everyone.

"I understood that I was on the right path. A visual reminder that invited interaction to delve deeper into the discussion. The lighting engineer, the craftsmen and I understood that I had to go through with it. And it worked. I think this idea was the fastest of anything I've produced. And it was also the easiest to make."

As a work of art

Moonsetter's sculptural appearance is also no coincidence, as Anne Boysen attended several art schools , where he worked extensively with sculptures and learned to create changing experiences by moving around them.

"When I received the instructions, I wanted to create something that would fit in my living room. I don't have any other pieces in my living room, so it had to be something I enjoyed looking at every day. And to achieve that goal, it had to be something clear, simple, but also expressive. Like a work of art, like a sculpture that you never get tired of looking at."

If we look at all her creations from the past, we realize that Anne Boysen always invites users to play. He wants them to have an experience, to become part of the design and to grasp the small differences he tries to communicate. As far as she's concerned, it's mostly about being able to delve deeper into her creations and do things correctly.

Make an effort

Observing society in general, Anne Boysen understands that the tendency to always want more prevails, which is why an ever-increasing number is introduced largest number of products, many of which are short-lived. For this reason, it is important for her to know how to create in a different way. He prefers to spend more time developing his projects so that they have depth and retain their raison d'être even in 20 or 50 years.

"I really try to make an effort. And I think a lot about what I want to convey, because, if you look closely, there are already enough chairs and lamps around us. For this reason, if I have to create something, it must be an original contribution, something never seen before".
