Developed in the late 1920s, the PH 3½-3 applies Henningsen’s meticulous three-shade system, which makes optimal use of the light source. The sophisticated pendant feels welcome in any room of your house, with a glare-free output that makes it ideal to hang low above a dining table or work surface.
Available in three different finishes, the timeless design can seamlessly coordinate and grow with public and private spaces over time.
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.
