{"title":"Poul Christiansen","description":"Danish architect and industrial designer Poul Christiansen (b. 1947) is celebrated for revolutionizing Scandinavian paper lighting by introducing curved mathematical folding to folded lamp shades. Graduating from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1973, Christiansen merged architectural planning with geometric origami research.\n\nChristiansen achieved international design fame through his defining, long-standing partnership with Danish lighting house Le Klint. In 1971, he made an epochal breakthrough by discovering how to score and fold plastic and paper along mathematical curves rather than straight lines, creating the iconic Model 172 \"Sinus Line\" pendant. Resembling floating botanical sculptures, his hand-folded shades provide glare-free 360-degree illumination, becoming Le Klint's greatest worldwide bestseller.","products":[{"product_id":"model-172-pendant-lamp-large","title":"Model 172 Pendant Lamp","description":"The iconic pendant Model 172 was designed in 1971 by Poul Christiansen, but new sizes have been added up until 2009.\n\nThe popular Model 172 is therefore available in many variations, making it possible to find a suitable size, whether the lamp is intended to hang over the kitchen or dining table, in the conference room, or in the hotel lobby.","brand":"Le Klint","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":49803285102913,"sku":null,"price":4616.58,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/4150\/0993\/files\/ff99976d-caa2-48f1-a62a-476d5987fcce.webp?v=1793223590"}],"url":"https:\/\/reevela.com\/en-nl\/collections\/poul-christiansen.oembed","provider":"Reevela","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
