Glossy on the outside and sandblasted on the inside, the mouth-blown three-layer opal glass creates a soft, diffused light. The chrome-plated structure has three smaller lights branching off from the stem, allowing for even illumination and a grand lighting structure to be formed.
Well suited for hanging in a dining or restaurant environment, the Louis Poulsen PH 2/1 Stem Fitting Pendant Light is sure to take centre-stage wherever its placed.
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.
