Louis poulsen - Ph 3/2 table lamp

Table lamp with three-shade system

"The real innovation about the PH luminaire is that it provides lighting that is both glare-free and economical. It is easy enough to create glare-free light (indirect and highly shielded light) if you can waste some of the light, and it is also easy to design a luminaire that is highly efficient if you ignore the fact that this is very irritating to the eye (strong reflection, etc.), but it is an art to create light that is both glare-free and economical".
Poul Henningsen

Gentle light output

The PH 3/2 table lamp is a member of the PH3 shade product family. Poul Henningsen's series was conceived during a few hectic months in the winter of 1923-26 for an exhibition hall in Copenhagen called "Forum". The PH 3-shade system was initially a pendant luminaire solution, but quickly developed into other types of luminaires for tables, floors, walls and a large number of chandeliers. As a result of the different sizes, materials, surfaces and light sources, over a thousand variants have been developed over the years. Today the series is a Scandinavian classic of world.

So does the PH 3/2 table lamp, which provides a pleasant soft light. It is reflected by several shades and radiated glare-free into the room. Reflections are guided by the shades via a logarithmic spiral in whose focal point the lamp is placed. The shade sizes correspond to the ratio 3:2:1 - each shade reduces the amount of light.
