Originally manufactured in 1960 as part of the design for the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, Arne Jacobsen’s AJ floor and table lamps are being reissued by Louis Poulsen. In honor of the 50th design anniversary, the lamps are being released in five new colors — petroleum, red, sand, yellow green, and blue green. Still available in the original colors of black, white or graphite grey, the new colors can be purchased at the Finnish Design Shop.
