City centers

Light plays an important role in urban settings helping us to navigate and making us feel good. City lighting creates the optimal setting for us to move effortlessly between home, work, and activities. Create an inviting atmosphere at squares and plazas with city street lights and a functional and pleasant light through the streets. Arrange tailored lighting systems for the various areas in the city center with lamppost, outdoor bollards, and wall lamps.

The staircase of St. John in Bergen, Norway, was transformed from a dilapidated and dark passage into a fantastic meeting place for pedestrians. The stairs connect Nygårdshøyden with the city center and is brought to life by fountains with running water and beautiful illumination from Flindt Bollards.

At Louis Poulsen we are aware that more urban areas are striving to minimize light pollution and preserve the natural darkness. Louis Poulsen is proud to announce that we now offer a range of post tops designed to meet the growing demands for dark sky compliant lighting. Our collection of dark sky post tops adheres to the guidelines established by DarkSky International.

Lighting in city centers can be as diverse as the areas themselves. Numerous light sources – from post tops and bollards to various wall- and surface-mounted fixtures create an inviting, unified flow through streets and squares, and draw our attention to urban elements of particular beauty and importance.

Louis Poulsen’s solutions for urban areas range from the classic to the ultra-modern, allowing planners and designers to speak to a city’s history while projecting its vision of the future.
