The PH 2/1 table lamp from Louis Poulsen, designed by the renowned Poul Henningsen, is a standout in indoor lighting, boasting an IP20 protection rating. This piece exemplifies the perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics, hallmarks of Henningsen's iconic designs.
Concept and Innovation
The design of the PH 2/1 is based on a system of reflective shades inspired by the logarithmic spiral, with the light source's focal point at the center of this arrangement. This ensures uniform, glare-free lighting, showcasing an innovative approach to light distribution.
Aesthetic Adaptability
A distinctive feature of the PH 2/1 is the customization of its cable, adjusted based on the lamp's body finish. The body is available in three finishes: metallic black, metallic brass, and chrome aluminum, each paired with a coordinated cable—black for the metallic black and chrome aluminum versions, and white for the metallic brass version. This attention to detail underscores the importance of visual consistency and design refinement.
Technical Features
Fitted with a 1x33W G9 light source, the PH 2/1 provides a welcoming illumination. It features shades made of blown white opal glass, with a body and support available in the aforementioned finishes. The 1.75-meter-long cable includes an in-cord switch for convenience and is available in black or white plastic, matching the lamp body's finish.
Dimensions and Installation
The lamp has compact dimensions, with a width and diameter of 20 cm, a height of 35.5 cm, and a base diameter of 12 cm, balancing elegance and presence. Weighing 1.5 kg, it ensures optimal stability, and the 1.75-meter cable length offers versatile installation options.
The PH 2/1 embodies Poul Henningsen's commitment to creating lighting that combines aesthetic appeal and functionality, making it an ideal choice for enhancing interior spaces with superior quality light and timeless design.
