About the PH 3/2 Table Lamp
The Iconic PH 3/2 Table Lamp
Poul Henningsen’s PH 3/2 Table Lamp was meticulously designed to provide a soothing, glare-free light. Crafted with precision, its three-shade system ensures a harmonious distribution of light, embodying Henningsen’s dedication to creating a lamp with perfect glare-free illumination.
Each lamp is partly handmade in Denmark, with craftsmanship and attention to detail at the highest level.
The imperfect beauty of each lamp
Louis Poulsen’s glass lampshades are crafted using traditional mouth-blown glass techniques that have been refined through generations. Skilled glassmakers carefully shape and layer the molten glass, ensuring optimal optical quality and light distribution. Heated to over 1400°C, the glass is meticulously worked to achieve a smooth, uniform surface and a distinctive expression.
Each lampshade is individually mouth-blown, making every piece one of a kind. Subtle variations in glass thickness and texture naturally occur as part of the craftsmanship, adding character to each shade. These time-honored glassblowing techniques result in a timeless aesthetic and an uncompromising dedication to quality, where the artistry behind each lamp is both visible and tangible.
A Danish Design Legacy
First introduced in 1925, the PH 3/2 Table Lamp reflects Louis Poulsen’s long-standing influence in modern lighting. A true classic, its timeless design seamlessly fits into contemporary interiors while preserving its historical significance.
Beyond illumination
Beyond its primary function, the PH 3/2 Table Lamp is a design statement in its own right. Even when unlit, its sculptural form and classic design add an elegant presence to any space.
