Part of the PH Aged Brass collection, this lamp honours Poul Henningsen’s legacy as the original master of light and his lifelong collaboration with Louis Poulsen, creating timeless lighting designs with exceptional craftsmanship. This Aged Brass Opal Table Lamp combines modern dimmable functionality with the designer’s famous three-shade system, engineered to shape light and minimise glare.
The PH 3/2 and its warm, inviting glow bring an air of sophistication to interiors no matter where it’s placed, be it on a bookshelf, sideboard or dressing table. Sleek and stylish, this luminaire is a vintage piece of Danish design guaranteed to accentuate any everyday space.
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.
