PH 2/2 Question Mark Table Lamp
About the PH 2/2 Question Mark Table Lamp
The fixture has been designed on the principle of a reflecting multi-shade system, emitting a glare-free, downwardly directed light while radiating a pleasantly delicate glow. The shades are made of hand-blown triple-layered opal glass, which is glossy on top and sandblasted matte on the underside to provide a soft and uniform light distribution. The adjustable upper part of the lamp can be tilted 45 degrees to the right or left by turning the handle on the middle of the arm.

Poul Henningsen’s pioneering work on the relationship between light structures, shadows, glare and colour reproduction and man’s need for light remains the foundation of the lighting theories still practised by Louis Poulsen.
Poul Henningsen designed the original PH 2/2 Question Mark lamp in 1931, based on his iconic three-shade system from 1926. The lamp was given the name ‘Question Mark’ due to the expressive curvature of the lamp stem.
The lightly brushed brass frame has been left untreated as in the original lamp from 1931, allowing it to acquire a beautiful patina to enhance the table lamp’s authentic look and feel over time. Also made of brushed brass, a go-through switch is located on the stem near the base, alongside a brown textile cord that complements the exclusive design. PH’s initials are beautifully and discreetly engraved above the cord.
The PH light model numbers refer the shade size. In the ‘whole’ models (also referred to as ‘pure’), such as the 2/2, the top shade measures 20 cm, with corresponding lower shades. The proportions between the shades are roughly 3:2:1, which results in a rounder and more compact look compared to the ‘hybrid’ sizes such as the PH 2/1.
