The PH 3/2 Aged Brass Opal Table Lamp is based on Poul Henningsen’s reflective three-shade system. It’s characterised by its aged brass top shade and white-painted inner side, providing pleasing downward-directed, glare-free illumination. The middle and lower shades are crafted from three-layered, mouth-blown opal white glass, which is glossy outside and sandblasted matte on the inner side and provides a softer, more uniform light distribution, creating further ambience. Poul Henningsen designed hundreds of lamps based on the System PH, which he developed in 1926, enabling unequalled lighting quality for a variety of purposes. A year later, Louis Poulsen introduced the PH 3/2 variant with Henningsen. Many of Poul Henningsen’s lamp designs feature a number corresponding to the different shade sizes of each lamp. The PH 3/2 is a “hybrid” sized luminaire with an approximately 30 centimetre sized top shade combined with the proportionally smaller lower shades from the PH 2/2. The PH 3/2 is designed to provide optimum lighting and a warm atmosphere, creating an island of light on a table, a dresser or a windowsill. It helped set new standards for the effectiveness of table lamp lighting.
