Henningsen's innovative, reflective three-shade system, expertly crafted and shaped from durable aluminium, creates an elegant silhouette and produces inviting, glare-free light. Directing the majority of light downwards, the lamp creates a warming pool of light in a room space, perfect for placing on a sideboard, coffee table or in a hallway. The lamp's striking black finish can coordinate with a range of styled spaces, and adds a beautiful modern twist to the classic PH 3½-2½ Table Lamp design. The Lamp is available in a range of other colours and in a glass finish.
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.
