Portable lamp in burnished brass and orange glass 28x47cm Centenary - Louis Poulsen

As a tribute to Poul Henningsen's legacy, the PH 3/2 Centenary Edition table lamp is based on the iconic three-shade system, the PH system, invented by Poul Henningsen in 1926.

Building on this system, Poul Henningsen developed hundreds of lamps, as well as the mathematical principle that made it possible to achieve outstanding lighting quality in a wide range of settings.

The lamp is made from burnished brass, carefully lacquered to preserve the patina, with three mouth-blown glass shades in an intriguing combination: the upper shade features four layers in Amber and the lower ones three layers in White Opal, all glossy on the outside and sandblasted matt white on the inside. This provides an excellent way of delivering both a warm ambient light upwards while maintaining a soft, diffuse and glare-free downward light.

Paired with a dark brown fabric cord, the PH 3/2 Centenary Edition table lamp brings a distinctive vintage touch to any setting. It is a contemporary interpretation of 100 years of heritage from the ingenious PH system.
