Product history
Nyhavn Parete was designed by Alfred Homann and Ole V. Kjær in 1976. Nyhavn Parete won an award in a competition for the lighting of ancient and historic urban areas held by Louis Poulsen Alfred Homann had worked on the designs and models prior to the competition and then Homann and his colleague, Ole V. Kjær, managed to submit the material in just five days. Alfred Homann explains the idea behind the wall lamp: "It was important that the luminaire was smaller and more discreet than the other products on the market at the time". The lamp is characterized by a cone-shaped screen and three anti-glare rings that emit a soft light, directed upwards.
