The PH 3½-2½ floor lamp from Louis Poulsen, inspired by the legendary Poul Henningsen, emerges as a timeless work for interior lighting, enjoying an IP20 protection rating. This masterpiece is available in three enticing colors: metallic black with a black cable, metallic brass with a white cable, and chrome with a black cable, allowing perfect harmony with various interior decors.
Henningsen's Lighting Revolution
The journey of the PH 3½-2½ began in the bustling winter of 1925-26 for a major exhibition in Copenhagen, known as “Forum.” Poul Henningsen introduced a major innovation: lighting that combines glare-free visibility with energy efficiency. He thus challenged conventions by offering a luminaire that is gentle on the eyes while being economical, a true feat at the time.
The Three-Part Shade System
The unique design of these luminaires relies on the logarithmic spiral, allowing each shade to evenly diffuse light and reduce glare while optimizing light distribution. This innovative approach results in a varied range of luminaires, offering a spectrum of decorative possibilities for both residential and professional lighting.
Materials and Sophisticated Design
The shades, made of blown white opal glass, rest on an elegant foot and base made of brass and chromed steel, providing not just refined aesthetics but also exemplary stability. The 2.5-meter cable, equipped with a switch, adds a practical touch to this remarkable design.
Dimensions and Assembly
With a reflector diameter of 33 cm and a total height of 130 cm, the PH 3½-2½ perfectly balances proportion and presence. The 24 cm base ensures a solid footing, while the 2.5-meter cable allows for installation flexibility. Weighing 3.5 kg, this luminaire combines lightness and sturdiness.
The PH 3½-2½ embodies Poul Henningsen's spirit of innovation and attention to detail, providing soft and enveloping light, ideal for creating a welcoming and warm atmosphere in any living space.
