• Simple and elegant form

The PH 3/2 Standard Lamp by Poul Henningsen has a sleek, refined presence and is a stylish lighting addition to any modern environment. As with the other lamps of the PH 3/2 family, the light is reflected through several lampshades to create a pleasant, soft glow. The lampshades are arranged in a logarithmic spiral, which houses the light bulb at its center. Poul Henningsen was Denmark’s first expert in lighting theory and his persistent experiments resulted in his iconic lamp collection praised by design and style gurus alike. With its well thought out form and functionality as well as harmonious, glare free lighting, the PH 3/2 Standard Lamp is an ideal accessory to the home or office space.

INFURN produces the attractive lamp with hand blown opal glass lampshades. The luminous body is made of carbon steel and is available in three eye-catching colors.

Dimensions

Designer, author, architect and critic, Poul Henningsen was born into an intellectual and upper class family in Denmark, 1894. Famed for his innovative lighting design, Henningsen was also one of the leading cultural figures in Denmark between both World Wars. Inspired by nature and form, Henningsen’s design style was both unique and provocative. He didn’t believe in the mundane and obvious, once stating, ”All political art is bad – all good art is political.” Celebrated worldwide, Poul Henningsen’s work remains within several notable 20th-century design collections, including that of the Metropolitan Museum in New York City. Henningsen was also given the prestigious honour of designing a piece for Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen.
