PH 2/1 Table Lamp

There is an art to making light feel entirely natural. The PH 2/1 Table Lamp by Louis Poulsen reflects Poul Henningsen’s lifelong pursuit of illumination that flatters a room rather than overwhelms it. Its three delicately layered shades of mouth-blown white opal glass follow a precise logarithmic spiral, gently directing light downward while softening glare and shadows. The design traces its origins to Henningsen’s pioneering collaboration with Louis Poulsen for the 1925 Paris exhibition, where his revolutionary multi-shade lighting system earned a gold medal. Compact in proportion yet unmistakable in character, this lamp brings a beautiful balance of scientific precision and sculptural elegance to a bedside table, console, or intimate reading corner.
