Heritage and Design Innovation
Designed by Poul Henningsen, the PH 3/3 pendant light is a luminous work of art that combines classic aesthetics with modern functionality. Part of the PH 3-shade series, this pendant light was created during the winter of 1925-26 for a major exhibition in Copenhagen, symbolizing a turning point in the design of indoor and outdoor lighting. This revolutionary luminaire was conceived to eliminate glare while maximizing light efficiency, an achievement realized through the use of the logarithmic spiral that influences the distribution and intensity of light.
Detailed Design and Material Selection
The PH 3/3 model offers a diameter of 28.5 cm for each shade, adhering to the ideal proportions of 3:2:1 between the upper and middle and lower shades. This configuration allows for optimal light diffusion, ideal for installations at height. Available in Black Metal or Black Opal Glass, this pendant light can be used in various environments, whether residential or commercial, thanks to its design that facilitates integration into modern or classic spaces.
Functionality and Adaptability
In addition to its exceptional design, the PH 3/3 integrates modern lighting technologies such as phase dimming and DALI, allowing for adjustment of light intensity to the specific requirements of each space.
Durability and Environmental Responsibility
Louis Poulsen is committed to producing environmentally friendly luminaires. The PH 3/3 complies with RoHS standards and is fully dismountable to facilitate recycling.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
The installation of the PH 3/3 pendant light is designed to be simple and accessible. With a 4-meter black textile cable and a sophisticated Piton concealment system, adjusting the height and position of the luminaire is easy. The matte glass shade ensures even light distribution and underscores the practical aspect of this timeless design.
