THIS FAMOUS DESIGNER CHANGED THE WAY CITIES THINK ABOUT PUBLIC LIGHTING

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Poul Henningsen creates lighting designs with artifacts like the Artichoke pendant, which emphasizes diffused, comfortable illumination. His work with Louis Poulsen extended from public spaces to iconic designs featured in homes around the world. Henningsen's philosophy of lighting as a public good remains relevant today as modern LEDs bring challenges like glare and light pollution.
