The designer

The basic idea for LP Circle sprang

from the designer’s experience with

OreLED, a fixture installed at Ørestad

School near Copenhagen. Mikkel

Beedholm, an architect at KHR

arkitekter, explains:

“The aim was for the fixture to not

simply slice through the ceiling like a

tin can – we wanted the collar to give

the fixture character and interplay with

the building’s architecture. The fixture

would thus add an extra dimension to

the interior through the collar’s

randomised reflection of the light.”

Normally, it is not possible to choose

colours for downlight fixtures, but LP

Circle is an exception in this respect.

Mikkel Beedholm says: “It has not

happened by chance. The coloured

rings help to reduce glare while

highlighting the shape of the lamp.

They also add a dash of colour to what

are often colourless rooms, both in

their lit and unlit states.”
