POUL HENNINGSEN (Denmark, 1894 - 1967) for Louis Poulsen. Table lamp PH 2/2 "The Question mark". Limited edition. Shades in three-layer blown opaline glass, shiny on the outside, sandblasted on the inside. Top plate, base and stand in untreated brushed brass, mounted with brown textile cord. Adjustable with a handle in the center of the arm (can be tilted 45 degrees right and left). Delivered unassembled, in original box. Photos of the final model. In perfect condition. Measurements: 41 x 20 x 20 x 20 cm. The table lamp PH 2/2, with brass shaft in the shape of a question mark, 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 visibly contributes to beautifying 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.
