POUL HENNINGSEN (Denmark, 1884-1967) for Louis Poulsen. PH 3/2 table lamp, Limited Edition. Blown white opaline glass shades. Brushed brass frame. New, brand new. Delivered unassembled in its original box. Photos of the final model. Measurements: 47.2 x 29 x 29 cm. The table lamp PH 3/2 was designed by Poul Henningsen for Louis Poulsen. It is a variant created from his 1958 PH Artichoke and, like the former, is characterized above all by the quality of a design that contributes visibly to beautify the architectural space in which it is placed. The overlapping sheets of blown glass that make up its screen use the hallmarks of light to avoid glare and create an aesthetic effect of great beauty; they redirect and reflect light, resulting in a unique and distinctive illumination. Danish designer, architect and critic, Poul Henningsen was one of the key figures in the cultural life of Denmark in the interwar period. He studied architecture between 1911 and 1917, but never graduated, as he decided to become an inventor and painter. Nevertheless, he worked as an architect and became one of the most prominent advocates of functionalism. In his career as a designer, his most famous creation was the "PH Artichoke" lamp, a simple lamp that used hallmarks of light to avoid glare and create an aesthetic effect of great beauty. Its success enabled Henningsen to finance his later work. He is currently representing at the Danish Museum of Art and Design, the MoMA in New York and the Victoria & Albert in London, among many others. New, brand new. Delivered disassembled in its original box .
