Toldbod 170 Pendant by Louis Poulsen is the mid-scale variant in the Toldbod pendant family — a series of opal glass pendants with maritime-influenced heritage, named after the old customs-house traditions of Copenhagen. The Toldbod series is characterised by its simplicity: a clean spherical or oval opal glass globe, a restrained metal fitting, and a design philosophy centred on producing comfortable, shadow-free diffuse ambient light without ornament or complexity. At 170mm the Toldbod occupies the most versatile position in the family, equally effective as a single pendant over a small dining table and as a cluster component in a larger installation.
The 170mm opal glass globe produces a warm, even glow that fills a modest radius around the pendant with comfortable ambient light, working well in domestic dining rooms, restaurant and café environments, hotel corridors and residential kitchens. The form's studied neutrality — no directional emphasis, no visible structure beyond the glass itself and the fitting — means it adapts to a wide range of interior styles and colour palettes without imposing a strong aesthetic character of its own. It is the Toldbod variant that most naturally transitions between single-pendant and multi-pendant installation strategies.
For architects and interior designers, the Toldbod 170 DWG drawing and CAD block support accurate pendant placement and ceiling coordination in plan and section. The 3D model and Revit family enable BIM-compliant project documentation. A reliable and versatile specification for residential, hospitality and light commercial interior projects where uncomplicated, warm diffuse pendant lighting is the brief.
Available as a 2D DWG drawing, 3D model and Revit file.
