Product description
Louis Poulsen - Albertslund Series Orbiter Maxi Large Version
Planet Type 17055 Ø approx. 500 mm Design Jens Møller Jensen.
The Louis Poulsen brand is known for its high-quality and timeless Danish design, which is also evident in this lamp.
This elegant ceiling lamp, both practical and aesthetically pleasing, lends a special atmosphere to any room and is a true eye-catcher.
The Louis Poulsen Orbiter 🪐 Maxi model lamp is a must-have for anyone who values stylish design and high-quality materials.
This lamp is only available in used condition and is perfect as a stylish lighting element for your home.
Jens Møller Jensen designed the models of the "Albertslund Series" in 1963 for a residential area in Albertslund, a suburb of Copenhagen. The Pendant lamps of type Orbiter follow the design elements of the rest of the Albertslund Series and, like them, feature an anti-glare ring, three vertical struts, and a large, flat ring that also serves as a reflector.
The Orbiter Maxi from the Albertslund Series with its characteristic
Saturn rings is a true classic, a timelessly elegant Pendant lamp.
The lamp emits a diffuse, soft, and pleasant light.
Material: Aluminum, powder-coated, Weight approx. 6 kg.
The lamp has three G24d type sockets and can be operated with energy-saving LEDs. Three matching light sources in warm white / neutral white light color can be added for an extra charge. Originally, the lamp is equipped with three compact lamps like Osram Dulux, each 18 W.
The two small and the large Saturn ring are designed so that a uniformly illuminated area is created in the room.
They guide and divide the light upwards and downwards and create
together with the three vertical struts a decorative play of shadows.
The desired lighting effect can be varied with an acrylic glass diffuser in clear or satin finish of your choice.
One diffuser is included in the price, another is available for 30 €.
With the closed, original acrylic glass cover, thermal problems and failures due to heat accumulation were common. For protected indoor use, open cylinders are therefore installed. They are new and not original.
The lamp has not been manufactured for many years and is only
available from "Vintage" stock. Today it is used worldwide
as an architectural finishing touch.
The lamps are in very good condition, but not new.
International shipping also possible.
The last two pictures show two other models from the Albertslund series. (same price)
