Enigma 425 was designed by Japanese designer Shoichi Uchiyama in 2003. Uchiyama presented a design idea to Louis Poulsen which deconstructed the traditional chandelier concept into slim layers of concentric circles. This involved floating shades held by ultrathin wires, providing a transparent and light expression. The name enigma stands for ‘mystery,’ referring to the fact that the shades appear to hover when viewed illuminated from a distance. The idea fits well with Louis Poulsen´s product philosophy and was a new interpretation of the multi-shade system - Japanese grace combined with Scandinavian simplicity. In 2018, the original aluminum version is joined by a new, black edition, expanding the design’s decorative possibilities, and creating a serene visual and atmospheric effect as it shapes and channels light.

Louis Poulsen
Copenhagen, Denmark
At the core of the brand’s philosophy is a focus on glare-free, layered illumination, developed through a scientific understanding of how light interacts with surfaces and space. This is exemplified in the iconic PH series, where carefully positioned shades direct and diffuse light to create a soft, comfortable glow. Rather than relying on excess or ornamentation, each design is driven by function, proportion, and the relationship between light and environment. With a legacy that spans nearly a century, Louis Poulsen continues to evolve through contemporary collaborations while maintaining its foundational principles.
