Inspired by an original 1933 wall lamp drawing, the PH 2/2 Wall Lamp Centenary Edition celebrates the enduring brilliance of Poul Henningsen’s pioneering three-shade system. This version pairs vintage character with subtle contemporary refinements, preserving the spirit of the original while adapting it for modern interiors.
Handcrafted mouth-blown amber and opal glass shades combine with aged lacquered brass to produce a warm, ambient upward glow and soft, glare-free downward illumination. The wall box design has been adjusted for modern installations and resembles the base of the PH Luna. Carefully brushed metalwork and refined detailing enhance its timeless appeal, making it an elegant choice beside a bed, in a hallway or living room, where it surrounds you with comfort, warmth and iconic Danish design.
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.
