Materials

Hand-Blown Opal Glass

These glass shades are triple-layered, which contributes to the lamp’s ability to diffuse light evenly and softly. The opal glass is both translucent and reflective, helping to minimize glare while providing a warm, inviting glow.

Stainless Steel Base

The base and stem of the lamp are made from stainless steel available in 3 finishes: brushed brass, polished chrome, and powder coated matte black. 

LED Lighting

This lamp comes with an energy-efficient e27 LED bulb, offering a modern update that uses less power while providing long-lasting, bright illumination.

Design

The design of the Poul Henningsen PH 2/1 Lamp is a masterclass in proportion and light diffusion, showcasing Henningsen’s innovative approach to creating even, glare-free lighting.

• Proportional Naming: The “2/1” designation reflects the size ratio between the lamp’s shades where the lower two shades are proportionally scaled down versions of the top shade.

• Innovative Three-Shade System: Henningsen’s signature three-shade design was engineered to minimize glare and direct light downward, creating soft, diffused illumination that enhances the ambiance of any space. This system remains a hallmark of Henningsen’s work, blending form and function in a revolutionary way.
