Ideally suspended high up in space, the PH 3/3 in aged brass emits a comfortable, glare-free light thanks to Poul Henningsen’s innovative three-shade system developed in 1926. The middle and lower translucent shades offer a beautifully soft, uniform light while the contrasting top reflector shade provides delicate downward illumination.
Part of Louis Poulsen’s Aged Brass collection, the classic dark metallic finish paired with luxurious white opal glass creates a vintage aesthetic that elevates any interior. Whether hung from a high-ceilinged living room, upscale lobby or commercial space, this iconic pendant light is destined to draw the gaze of modern design aficionados and is certain to spark a conversation among those who observe it.

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.
