Another new arrival in Lane Crawford Pacific Place home store this week is Louis Poulsen’s AJ Lamps; commemorates the 50th anniversary of designer Arne Jacobsen’s iconic AJ Lamps, the brand has launched five new colours that are based on Jacobsen’s colour concept.
Considered one of the most influential Danish architects and designers of the 20th century and a name synonymous with Danish modernism, Arne Jacobsen’s sense of purity and simplicity is readily recognised in everything he designed. In terms of colours, the designer preferred soft tones and hues, which didn’t attract attention. In his opinion, the presence of an object should never stand out in any way or interfere with your experience.
The AJ series of lamps is the perfect expression of Jacobsen’s purist design mindset. Designed for the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Copenhagen in 1960, the asymmetric conical shape of the fixture head clearly delineates the direction of the light. In other words, you can imagine the light before it’s even switched on, because the light design is already built into the lamp. The five new colours are muted hues and will be available in a total of five rooms in Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, celebrating five decades of sublime simplicity.

People nowadays are swamped with tech savvy products such as the crackberry, ipad and kindle, yet we seem to have forgotten about the fun and excitement we used to have with the simplest toys that we play as kids. Speaking of childhood toys, kaleidoscopes would definitely be The LC Insider’s favourite trend this Autumn/Winter season. A classic and timeless piece packed with rich, colourful patterns and it has inspired Lane Crawford’s Autumn/Winter Home and Lifestyle collections.
Ranging from small pieces such as teapots and plates to large chairs and sofas, this season’s products are filled with joyful colours and interesting patchworks. For instance, you can find the vintage quilted footstool stitched with multi-coloured prints or the Pinocchio rug featuring rainbow colours from Hay which the kids will absolutely adore. To enlighten your bathroom, you must stock the petite yet delightful Deco Walther bathroom accessories. The collection includes liquid soap containers made from coloured crystals, and these sparkly gems can certainly work the magic to brighten up the space.
This season’s new products are quirky and eccentric, inspired by the colours and prints of a kaleidoscope, it is a collision of different styles. As we are saying farewell to Summer/Spring, come visit The Lane Crawford Pacific Place Home Store and embrace this vibrant and animated coming season.
