A relaunch close to our hearts and minds at Danish Red. This lamp design is one of the few ever created by Finn Juhl (1912-1989), one of Denmark’s most renowned architects and furniture designers. Initially designed in 1963, the pendant and table lamp, including the original two-toned grey variant, are reintroduced by Louis Poulsen as FJ Elements in 2025.
The lamp’s name comes from Finn Juhl’s hand sketches, in which he described it as being composed of “elements”. These early drawings document the lamp’s form, proportions and the concept for an entire lamp series, and also tell of its overall construction. While the materials and geometric lines of the FJ Elements’ design stand out in their simplicity, the playful creativity is evident in how the upper shade can rotate around on the lower shade. This function allows you to control the direction of the light in multiple ways, while also transforming the lamp’s appearance.

The centrepiece of the series is the pendant. However, by incorporating what Finn Juhl referred to as “a linking element”, he was able to adapt the initial design into a table lamp as well.
As exclusive Australian agents for House of Finn Juhl furniture, we are especially delighted to welcome the Louis Poulsen FJ Elements series to the collection.
The Louis Poulsen collection including the new FJ Elements series is available to order in Australia at Danish Red.
