Defined by an elegant three-shade system, allowing for optimum performance and reflection, the PH Outdoor emits symmetrical light downwards, with the matt inside of the shades ensuring uniformed light distribution. The light is a beautiful addition to an outside space, creating both purposeful and atmospheric light whether positioned next to a front door, near a patio or an outside entertaining 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.
