Bolich. Archetypal Lighting

Interior designers and decorators are increasingly using them. And they are at home on the film set: lamps by Bolich from Odenheim in Baden. This is mainly due to the clear language of form, which points to their original origin. They are mainly ceiling and exterior lights, real archetypes, usually found in factory buildings from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. Products by Bolich, founded more than 100 years ago, are known for their quality and durability.

When the heyday of British seafaring faded in the 20th century, Davey used the skills it had acquired over the decades to produce the originally maritime luminaires for use on land, initially primarily in industrial and commercial environments. The offer was soon taken up by architects and designers, which is hardly surprising, because the lamps of Davey are still characterized by what they were already in their founding days: a clear, purpose-oriented design language, a robustness conveyed through the choice of materials and a processing with attention to every detail, which was indispensable for the original use in the maritime or industrial environment.

The lamps of the Danish manufacturer Louis Poulsen have been a reference for decades. Their emergence they owe to the pioneering work of Poul Henningsen (1894-1967). The latter wanted to create luminaires that provide absolutely glare-free, indirect light and at the same time offer an efficient light output. He was able to achieve this goal in the partnership he formed with Louis Poulsen in 1925, which lasted until his death. Along the way, Henningsen did pioneering work with regard to light structures, shadows, reflection and light rendering. In short, his work forms the cornerstone of the theory of light according to which Louis Poulsen luminaires are still manufactured today.
