Originally designed in the 1920s for an exhibition in Paris, the art deco influence blends impeccably with a crisp form, distinctly Scandinavian in aesthetic. Crafted from beautiful hand-blown Italian glass, the reflective 3 shade system directs the majority of its light downwards, whilst still creating a warm glow around the fixture itself. Perfect for hanging low in a living room over a coffee table or clustered in a group in a dining space, the PH 3/2 Pendant Light is a timeless addition to an interior space.
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.
