Based on Poul Henningsen’s reflective three-shade system which he created to shape excellent non-glare lighting, this petite table lamp provides a soft, harmonious downward light while emitting a wonderful glow.
Perfect for home use as a table or desk lamp, the PH 2/1 Limited Edition is now available in a classic aged brass finish with dusty terracotta-coloured glass.

Poul Henningsen is an integral figure in lighting design and architecture, whose revolutionary views on the utilisation of light in the home led to a number of ground-breaking designs.
Collaborating with Louis Poulsen in 1924/25, Henningsen produced the first version of the seminal PH multi-shade lamp, a classic piece of modern lighting design, featuring separate elements which are shaped and assembled in such a way that the bulb is covered and light is directed downward, creating a soft, diffused effect.
Henningsen was aware of the importance of light in urban life, but sought a way to subdue the harshness of electric light while harnessing its mood-altering properties, believing that the aesthetic of an interior is highly dependent on how light is used.
