Louis Poulsen PH 3½-2½ Metal Table Lamp

Manufacturer: Louis Poulsen | Designer: Poul Henningsen

Colour Above, Soft Light Below

The PH 3½-2½ Metal Table Lamp was designed in 1928, based directly on Poul Henningsen’s original drawings. It is one of the earliest expressions of his three-shade system, retaining details that connect it to those first designs. The shade holder uses the original type with visible adjustment screws. The top metal shade has a rolled edge: a detail that is both decorative and structural, making the shade appear thicker than the material actually is. The silk matt brown-painted brass frame recalls the burnished brass lamps of the period.

A powder-coated spun aluminium top shade with a white-painted inner surface directs light downwards, while two mouth-blown white opal glass lower shades, glossy on the exterior and matt within, soften the illumination. Available in Red, Green, Yellow and White, it brings a measured splash of colour to a desk or side table, with an on/off cord switch for everyday use.
