MYR 8,470.00
Honouring the legacy of Poul Henningsen, the PH 2/2 Wall Lamp Centenary Edition is based on the iconic three-shade system, the System PH, invented by Poul Henningsen in 1926. Based on this system, Poul Henningsen developed hundreds of lamps as the mathematical principle behind it made it possible to enable excellent lighting quality for a great variety of purposes.
The PH 2/2 Wall Lamp Centenary Edition is crafted in aged brass carefully lacquered to preserve the patina, and three shades in an interesting combination of a mouth-blown, four-layered Amber upper glass shade and mouth-blown, three-layered White Opal lower glass shades, all glossy on the outside and sandblasted matte white on the inner side. A great way to provide both a warm, ambient upward light to the surroundings and surface around the fixture while maintaining a soft diffused and glare-free downward directed light. A contemporary interpretation of the 100-year heritage of the ingenious System PH.
The very influential Danish designer, architect, writer, and cultural critic, Poul Henningsen (1894-1967), has had a huge impact on Danish thinking and design. His legacy is an integrated part of Louis Poulsen’s endeavor to shape light.
Poul Henningsen was born in Copenhagen in 1894 as the son of the Danish writers Agnes Henningsen and Carl Ewald. He started practicing traditional functionalist architecture, but over the years his professional interests changed to focus mainly on lighting, which is what he is most famous for.
