Poul Henningsen Ph 3/2 Glass Table Lamp UZ0202673

Product Details

Product Description

The PH 3/2 Table fixture is a product of Poul Henningsen's dedication to creating glare-free lighting that directs light where it is needed most while creating soft shadows. Using the principle of a reflective three-shade system, this fixture directs the majority of light downwards. The handblown opal three-layer glass shades, which are glossy on top and sandblasted matte on the underside, provide a soft and diffuse light distribution. Originally designed by Henningsen in 1925/1926 for an exhibition in Paris, the three-shade system has been expanded to include 19 different versions today, with approximately 1,000 different models produced over the years. The shades were initially made of metal with a painted undersurface, but glass was later introduced to provide even distribution of light over the entire curve of the shade. The PH light model numbers correspond to the shade size, with each shade reducing the amount of light equally due to their distance from the light source. The PH 3/2 Table features an approximately 30 cm top shade and lower shades from the 2/2 model due to the desire to hang the pendants at lower heights. This system was used not only for pendants but also for wall, table, and floor lamps.
