Poul Henningsen Lighting
Danish, 1894-1967
The name Poul Henningsen is synonymous with the best and most innovative modern Scandinavian lamps and other lighting. The Danish designer created a signature vocabulary of fixtures with tiered and layered shades in sculptural arrangements that are at once naturalistic and geometric.
Henningsen grew up in a town on the outskirts of Copenhagen and studied architecture at the Technical University of Denmark. He would become a noted art critic, journalist and screenwriter, but his first love was lighting design.
Henningsen’s childhood home was illuminated by oil lamps. When his family switched to electrified lighting, he was alarmed and repelled by the harsh glare cast by an incandescent bulb, and in his late teens he began conducting quasi-scientific experiments to measure which materials and methods best diffused or reflected light to give it a warm brightness. His work came to the attention of the lighting-fixtures firm Louis Poulsen, which sponsored the development of a prototype lamp. The design won a gold medal at the 1925 Paris Expositions Internationales des Arts Decóratifs et Industriels Modernes — from which the term Art Deco derives. The lamp, whose three-part shade is said to be inspired by the arrangement of a dinner plate atop a soup bowl atop a teacup, became the basis for Henningsen’s most successful design, the PH 4/3 desk lamp.
All told, Henningsen would design some 100 lighting fixtures in his career. Some of his most notable creations are hanging lamps, which include the Septima (1929), a pendant composed of seven graduated frosted-glass layers; the Spiral (1942), made of a single ribbon of enameled aluminum; and the Artichoke lamp (1958), whose 70 glass or metal fins in a staggered and graduated arrangement on a central steel frame resemble those of its namesake. The last is likely Henningsen’s masterwork and an icon of mid-20th-century design. Like all Henningsen lighting designs, it is striking, sculptural and — thanks to his insistence on the primacy of the quality of the light cast — superbly functional.

Poul Henningsen 'PH 2-1' Opal Glass and Chrome Wall Lamp for Louis Poulsen
These refined wall lamps are an addition to the Louis Poulsen PH collection and are based on Poul Henningsen's original drawings from the late 1920s and early 1930s. Poul Henningsen designed hundreds of lamps based on the three-shade-system he developed in 1926, pioneering unequalled lighting quality for all types of needs.
Executed in mouth-blown white opal glass, the shades are meticulously crafted at Louis Poulsen's factory in Vejen, by Louis Poulsen's own staff – a craft only very few are trained in. They are then carefully perched atop a high luster chrome-plated spun brass arm and attached to matching chrome...

Pendel Model PH 3/2 Akademi By Poul Henningsen For Louis Poulsen

Poul Henningsen's collaboration with Louis Poulsen began as early as 1925-1926, when PH, in partnership with Louis Poulsen, designed the first lamps for an exhibition in Paris. This collaboration lasted until his death in 1967. Throughout his life, PH aimed to create glare-free light, directing the light where it was needed and producing soft shadows using the incandescent bulb as the light source. The PH 3/2 Academy Pendant is part of the 3-shade family, which now comprises 30 lamps, including 3 for outdoor use. PH didn't just design a lamp but an entire system, resulting in approximately a thousand different variations produced over the years.
The extensive selection included table lamps, floor lamps, and wall lamps. Additionally, there were various chandeliers that became highly popular as high-hanging lighting fixtures...

Poul Henningsen Ph5 Pendant in Monochrome White for Louis Poulsen

Poul Henningsen PH5 Pendant for Louis Poulsen. Denmark. Designed in 1958. New, current production.
Poul Henningsen developed the PH 5 in 1958 in response to constant changes made to the shape and size of incandescent bulbs by bulb manufacturers, naming it after the size of the pendant’s main shade, which is 50 cm in diameter. When the lamp was introduced, he wrote, typically daringly, about how he had lost faith in whether the manufacturers of incandescent light bulbs would ever learn to consider common sense or have the consumer’s best interests at heart: “I have accepted fate, and with Louis Poulsen´s permission I have designed a PH fixture, which can be used with any kind of light source, Christmas lights...

Glass Pendant for Louis Poulsen
By Poul Henningsen
Located in Tilburg, NL
Poul Henningsen 'PH 4½-4' glass pendant for Louis Poulsen.
Poul Henningsen designed the three-shade system back in 1925-1926. The first lights using the system were designed by PH in cooperation with Louis Poulsen for an exhibition in Paris. This partnership continued up until his death in 1967. Throughout his life, PH sought to create glare-free light, direct light where it was most needed, and create soft shadows, using incandescent bulbs as a light source.
The PH 4½-4 Glass Pendant is a member of the three-shade family which numbers 30 lights today, including three for outdoor use. Thus PH did not just design a light, but an entire system – around a thousand different models have been produced over the years. This wide selection consisted of table, floor and wall lamps, as well as a number of different chandeliers...
