Description

The PH 3/2 Aged Brass Opal Table Lamp is based on Poul Henningsen’s reflective three-shade system. It’s characterised by its aged brass top shade and white-painted inner side, providing pleasing downward-directed, glare-free illumination. The middle and lower shades are crafted from three-layered, mouth-blown opal white glass, which is glossy outside and sandblasted matte on the inner side and provides a softer, more uniform light distribution, creating further ambience.

Designer

Poul Henningsen , 1925-1926

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.
