PH 3/2 Aged Brass Opal Table Lamp - Special Edition

Description

Poul Henningsen designed hundreds of lamps based on the System PH, which he developed in 1926, enabling unequalled lighting quality for a variety of purposes.

A year later, Louis Poulsen introduced the PH 3/2 variant with Henningsen. Many of Poul Henningsen’s lamp designs feature a number corresponding to the different shade sizes of each lamp. The PH 3/2 is a “hybrid” sized luminaire with an approximately 30 centimetre sized top shade combined with the proportionally smaller lower shades from the PH 2/2.The PH 3/2 is designed to provide optimum lighting and a warm atmosphere, creating an island of light on a table, a dresser or a windowsill. It helped set new standards for the effectiveness of table lamp lighting.

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.
