Louis Poulsen PH 3½-2½ Floor Lamp Centenary Edition

Manufacturer: Louis Poulsen | Designer: Poul Henningsen

A Century of Considered Light

The PH 3½-2½ Floor Lamp Centenary Edition celebrates a hundred years of Poul Henningsen's System PH, introduced in 1926. Its carefully proportioned three-shade arrangement directs light where it is needed while helping to screen the bulb from view, bringing comfortable illumination to a favourite chair or a quiet corner.

A mouth-blown four-layer amber upper shade sits above two mouth-blown three-layer white opal lower shades. Glossy outer surfaces contrast with sandblasted matt inner surfaces, softening the light as it passes through the glass. The amber shade adds a warm upward glow, while the lower shades guide softly diffused light downwards.

The Finish

Aged brass with fine hairlines is lacquered to preserve the aged finish. Together with the dark brown textile cord, it gives the lamp a vintage character that sits comfortably in contemporary rooms. An on/off foot switch with an aged-brass cup makes everyday operation straightforward.
