Louis Poulsen PH 3/2 Aged Brass Opal Table Lamp

Manufacturer: Louis Poulsen | Designer: Poul Henningsen

A Hybrid in Aged Brass

Poul Henningsen developed his three-shade system in 1926 to shape light through carefully calculated curves. Introduced in 1927, the PH 3/2 combines a nominal 30cm top shade with the smaller lower shades from the PH 2/2 family. This version has an actual shade diameter of 28.5cm, giving it compact proportions for a bedside table, dresser or windowsill.

The dark brown aged-brass top shade and body recall the character of early PH lamps. Fine hairlines give the metal a subtle texture, while a lacquer coating preserves the finish. Beneath the metal shade, two mouth-blown opal glass shades soften the light, pairing glossy outer surfaces with sandblasted matte interiors.

The top shade's white-painted underside reflects light downwards, creating a welcoming pool of illumination across the surface below. The combination of metal and glass gives the lamp a warm presence, whether placed beside a bed or on a console in the living room.
