The PH 3½-2½ table lamp with a colored diffuser from Louis Poulsen, designed in 1928 by the renowned designer Poul Henningsen, stands as a striking example of ingenuity and timeless design. With an IP20 protection rating, this lamp is perfectly suited for indoor use, offering an elegant and functional lighting solution.
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.
Dimensions and Installation
With a 33 cm diameter reflector and a height of 45 cm, this table lamp harmoniously combines design and functionality. Its weight of 2.5 kg and a 2.5-meter cable offer both stability and installation flexibility, making the PH 3½-2½ a refined and practical centerpiece for any interior.
