Louis Poulsen PH 3/2 Table Lamp Centenary Edition

Manufacturer: Louis Poulsen | Designer: Poul Henningsen

A Hundred Years of System PH

The PH 3/2 Table Lamp Centenary Edition marks one hundred years of Poul Henningsen's approach to shaping light.

Developed in 1926, System PH uses carefully calculated shade geometry to shield the light source and direct light downwards. It remains the foundation of the PH family, combining practical illumination with a gentle ambient glow.

This Centenary Edition pairs a mouth-blown four-layered amber upper shade with two mouth-blown white opal lower shades. Their sandblasted inner surfaces soften the light, while the amber glass adds warmth to the familiar three-shade silhouette.

The Finish

Aged brass brushed with fine hairlines is lacquered to preserve its finish and paired with a dark brown textile cord. The through-switch keeps operation close to hand, making the lamp a considered addition to a desk, sideboard or bedside table. Each lamp carries an individual ID number engraved on the base.
