Louis Poulsen Yuh Terra floor lamp 24 cm black

The Italian-Danish design duo GamFratesi designed Yuh for Louis Poulsen in 2017. Initially launched in black and white, the family has since been expanded to include brass and marble versions. Yuh is an essentially personal lamp. It is flexible and takes up little space. It can be rotated, raised and lowered to illuminate and create the right atmosphere in the desired area. The shape of the shade is determined geometrically by the movement it makes on the stem. The minimalist look is created by a circular shape at the bottom to the linear opening at the top of the shade. The name Yuh is the phonetic form of “you”, the letters representing the sound of the voice to say “you”.

Lighting system

The fixture emits light mainly downwards without direct glare. The angle of the shade can be adjusted to optimise the distribution of light. The thin opening at the top of the shade diffuses soft light upwards. A mechanical system allows maximum freedom of movement and the ideal positioning of the light in the work environment, living room, and other spaces. The integrated LED technology offers a high quality of light, with continuous control of the reduction from 15 to 100%. It also has a timer that, when programmed, allows automatic switch-off in a time range from 4 to 8 hours and a function to set the constant lighting level whenever the lamp is connected to the main power supply. At the top of the stem there is a single button with the dual function of switch and dimmer.

GAMFRATESI

GamFratesi's design draws its creativity from a fusion of tradition and innovation in an experimental approach to the materials and techniques chosen. Each with their own experience, Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi draw on classic Danish furniture style and craftsmanship, as well as an Italian conceptual and intellectual approach.

Understanding tradition and actively turning it to laboratory activities allows it to expand. From this substrate of cultural mixes they create a design that respectfully reflects tradition by inserting unique stories, symbols and associations expressed in a minimalist way. GamFratesi was founded in 2006 by Danish architect Stine Gam and Italian architect Enrico Fratesi. They met at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Ferrara in northern Italy in 2004 and have since studied together at the Aarhus School of Architecture in Denmark. GamFratesi is based in Copenhagen.
