Louis Poulsen Albertslund Maxi Post Class I 4939 Lumens, Grey

Albertslund Mini Post was designed by Jens Møller-Jensen in 1963 for a residential project in Albertslund, Denmark. Albertslund Maxi was released onto the market in 1980. At the time the Albertslund post light was developed, Jens Møller-Jensen’s father was the architect for the construction project and Jens Møller-Jensen heard through him that they had settled on a particular park post light. When Jens Møller-Jensen heard the price they would have to pay for this post light, he said without hesitation: ‘I can make a better fixture at lower cost!’. Within a week Jens Møller-Jensen had designed a 1:1 mock-up in his workshop which he showed to the parties involved in the residential project. All they needed was a manufacturer, and since Louis Poulsen was a few cents cheaper than its competitors, they received the order. The product design is based on an anti-glare ring, three bolts, a conical reflector and the top shade, which services as the primary reflector. The Albertslund Maxi LED version was launched in 2012.
