About Alfred Homann
Danish designer Alfred Homann created lighting, furniture and architecture with an eye for simplicity, clarity and logic. A graduate of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art, Homann practiced architecture before branching into industrial design. He founded his own architecture practice in 1978 and has since conceived public buildings, transit stations, museums, interiors and private residences in Denmark and the U.S. As an industrial designer, Homann collaborated with some of the industry’s most prestigious manufacturers including the Danish furniture masters at Carl Hansen & Son, to realize his creations. For the past four decades, Homann has designed lighting exclusively for Louis Poulsen, including the award-winning Nyhavn Wall Lamp, which he created with Ole V. Kjær in 1976. Homann received numerous accolades for his work, including an iF Design Award for his Kipp Post light with Louis Poulsen. When he wasn’t envisioning new products and projects, Homann could be found teaching the next generation of designers at architecture and design schools around the world.
