Price History
Description
PH 3/2 table lamp from Louis Poulsen looks great placed on, for example, a dresser or bedside table. The shades are made of reflective mouth-blown opal glass in three layers that directs the majority of the light downwards. They are glossy on the outside and have a matte sandblasted inside that provides a soft and diffused light. The iconic three-shade system was designed by Danish Poul Henningsen who, in a collaboration with Louis Poulsen, designed the first PH lamps in 1925-1926 for an exhibition in Paris. Here, he has used a scientific perspective as the lamp is constructed based on the logarithmic spiral, a mathematical spiral curve that occurs in many places in nature. This provides an even distribution over the entire curve of the shade and together with the diffuse reflection through the glass, a harmonious and glare-free light is created. The numbers of the PH lamps refer to the size of the shades and the letters come from the designer's initials. Feel free to explore the wide range of PH lamps.
Our Stylist Says
I love this lamp for its timeless Scandinavian design and versatile appeal. The beige gloss finish makes it a subtle yet sophisticated piece that combines well with both modern and classic interiors. It's particularly effective when placed on a side table or desk, adding a warm, diffused light that softens the space without overpowering it. To style it well, consider pairing it with neutral textiles or natural materials like wood and linen to enhance its understated elegance. Practical tips include using it in cosy reading nooks or on a bedside table, where its shape and soft glow can create a calm, inviting atmosphere.
