Harmonious light by Poul Henningsen
Designed by Poul Henningsen, the PH 2/1 Table Lamp brings his three-shade system to a compact scale. The mouth-blown, three-layered opal glass shades direct most of the light downwards while allowing a gentle glow to spread into the surrounding space. The result is soft, harmonious and glare-free illumination.

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.
Danish design legacy
Designed in 1927, the PH 2/1 Table Lamp is based on Poul Henningsen’s reflective three-shade system, developed in 1925-26. The shade curves are based on a logarithmic spiral, allowing the light to be reflected and distributed evenly while reducing glare.
This close relationship between form, function and light continues to give the design relevance in both classic and contemporary interiors.

Quality in every detail
The three mouth-blown opal glass shades are paired with a slender brass stem and circular base. From the sandblasted inner surface of the glass to the precise relationship between the shades, every detail supports a soft and balanced distribution of light.

Beyond illumination
Even when switched off, the PH 2/1 Table Lamp remains a balanced composition of layered glass, a slender stem and a circular base. Its compact proportions give the design a clear presence without dominating the surrounding space.
