This PH 2/2 table lamp, is an iconic design by Poul Henningsen for Louis Poulsen, Denmark, circa 1928–1933. The lamp is crafted from patinated brass, exuding a timeless elegance characteristic of Henningsen’s designs. Its three-shade system, made from opal glass, is carefully designed to provide glare-free, evenly distributed light, a hallmark of Henningsen’s dedication to functional and aesthetically pleasing lighting.
The PH 2/2 series is part of Henningsen’s innovative lighting system, where the proportions of the shades are designed to optimize light distribution and reflection. This model, with its smaller size, was specifically tailored for intimate settings like desks or side tables, making it both a functional and decorative piece. The patinated brass base and stem contribute to its vintage charm, showcasing the material’s natural aging process over nearly a century.
This lamp not only represents a piece of Danish design history but also stands as a testament to Henningsen’s revolutionary approach to lighting, blending form, function, and beauty seamlessly.
