Origin and Concept

The PH 3/2 pendant light is a masterpiece of luminous design from the PH 3-shade series, developed by Poul Henningsen during the tumultuous winter of 1925-26 for the Forum in Copenhagen. This artwork aimed to provide glare-free and economical lighting by using thick shades to gently diffuse light while minimizing irritating specular reflections for the eyes. The introduction of the logarithmic spiral by Henningsen at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1925 marked the beginning of a new era in functional and aesthetic lighting design.

Design and Materials

The PH 3/2, recognizable by its harmonious design and balanced proportions (28.5 cm for the upper shade), employs high-quality materials such as blown white opal glass and brass. These materials were chosen for their ability to softly scatter light and their elegant finish. Finish options include metallic black and high-gloss chrome, allowing this lamp to blend into any modern or classical environment.

Functionality and Adaptability

Equipped for E27 bulbs up to 75W, the PH 3/2 was designed to provide optimal illumination while remaining aesthetically pleasing. It is ideal for hanging at various heights and is suitable for both residential and commercial spaces, creating an inviting and well-lit atmosphere.

Durability and Environmental Standards

The PH 3/2 pendant light from Louis Poulsen complies with European RoHS guidelines and is a sustainable product designed to be fully dismantled and recycled, reflecting the brand's commitment to sustainability. The packaging is made from recycled materials, minimizing its environmental impact.

Installation and Maintenance

The installation of the PH 3/2 is facilitated by a 3x0.75 mm² power cable and a cover for hanging, with a cable length of 4 meters allowing for maximum flexibility during installation. This lamp was designed for easy maintenance, ensuring its longevity and aesthetic integrity over time.

Technical Specifications

  • Width: 28.5 cm
  • Height: 24.2 cm
  • Cable Length: 4 m
  • Weight: 1.4 kg

Conclusion

The PH 3/2 pendant light illustrates Louis Poulsen's commitment to combining functionality and design under the innovative vision of Poul Henningsen. Perfect for those looking to invest in high-quality lighting, the PH 3/2 enriches any space with its brilliance and timeless style.
