The iconic three-tiered shade, crafted from Italian hand-blown glass, embodies superior craftmanship and show-stopping style. The opal and matt finishes on the glass illuminate beautifully, optimising the displacement of light across your room. The PH 2/1 is a true embodiment of Henningsen’s lifelong mission to create timeless products that can beautifully shape light around us.
Also available as a Table Lamp.
Poul Henningsen is an integral figure in lighting design and architecture, whose revolutionary views on the utilisation of light in the home led to a number of ground-breaking designs.
Collaborating with Louis Poulsen in 1924/25, Henningsen produced the first version of the seminal PH multi-shade lamp, a classic piece of modern lighting design, featuring separate elements which are shaped and assembled in such a way that the bulb is covered and light is directed downward, creating a soft, diffused effect.
Henningsen was aware of the importance of light in urban life, but sought a way to subdue the harshness of electric light while harnessing its mood-altering properties, believing that the aesthetic of an interior is highly dependent on how light is used.
