The Danish Embassy in Manila shared details of the event on its official Facebook page, inviting the public to explore the timeless creations. The exhibit, hosted at the Twenty-four Seven McKinley Building, runs until September 15, 2024.
The exhibition showcases Louis Poulsen’s most famous lamps, including designs by renowned Danish designers Poul Henningsen and Arne Jacobsen.
