Discover the PH 3/2 Table Lamp by Louis Poulsen, Designed by Poul Henningsen

The PH 3/2 table lamp, crafted by the renowned designer Poul Henningsen, is a masterpiece of interior lighting that combines softness, harmony, and comfort. Through its triple shade of blown, white opalized glass, this lamp directs light downwards, creating a soothing luminous ambiance. Inspired by Henningsen's famous shade system developed in 1925, this lamp aims to provide superior, non-glaring lighting.

The genesis of this lamp dates back to its collaboration with Louis Poulsen for the Paris Exhibition in 1925, where the first lamp utilizing this shade system, known as the "Paris Lamp," won the gold medal. Henningsen's scientific approach to lighting, which merges a logarithmic spiral with a set of reflective shades, ensures even light distribution while minimizing glare and bothersome shadows.

Avant-garde and Timeless

Though the PH 3/2 lamp is considered a classic today, it was revolutionary at its inception, markedly different from the fabric shade lamps of its time. The precise angles of the shades, the result of meticulous calculations, and the sandblasted underside of the glass contribute to this lamp's signature, non-glaring light quality.

Lighting Concept

This luminaire is based on a set of reflective shades that direct most of the light downwards. The shades, polished on the outside and sandblasted on the inside, are made from three layers of blown opalized glass, emitting a soft and pleasant light.
