Innovative Design by Poul Henningsen
Inspired by Henningsen's relentless quest for mastered electric lighting, the PH 3½-2½ lamp results from his famous shade assembly concept based on a logarithmic spiral, aiming to optimize light source usage. Designed to be glare-free, it showcases Henningsen's ability to blend functionality and aesthetics through white opal glass shades that emit a soft and uniform light.
Thoughtful Lighting Concept
The lamp's interior structure ensures total glare elimination. It relies on three reflective shades that direct most of the light downwards. The paint on the lower surface of the upper shade, available in various colors, subtly guides the light, while the two lower opal glass shades ensure a broad and pleasant light diffusion. This design allows for efficient light use for both practical and comfortable illumination.
Product Details
Equipped with a 60W E14 light source, the lamp features an upper shade made of painted aluminum (available in different colors) with a white laminated edge for a striking visual effect. The matte brown brass stand and base add a touch of sophistication, while the 2.5-meter cable with a switch on the cord ensures ease of use.

The Panthella collection, AJ Floor lamp, and the PH series, particularly the PH 5 also created in 1958, are among the brand's best-sellers, reflecting a commitment to excellence and functionality. These iconic designs continue to charm with their ability to create a warm and welcoming ambiance, while serving as timeless art objects.
