Foster 550 is the first of a brand new range of lighting fixtures, the result of an exciting and productive partnership between Louis Poulsen and Foster + Partners. The design teams were convinced that there was a way to use large numbers of LEDs to create a fixture that did not just challenge the technical limits of LEDs, but surpassed the functional to achieve a fixture appropriate for the Louis Poulsen portfolio.

F+P 550 consists of four major parts: a shade made of opal glass, a matt anodised aluminium reflector, a light guide of metallised polycarbonate and an aluminium ring covering the 30 LEDs. It has a diameter of �550 mm and a height of only 35 mm.
