Vintage Design
Early original “PH-lamp” pendant made in the 1930s at Louis Poulsen, Copenhagen. This is the “3/3” sized pendant with original opaline shades and bakelite socket house as invented by Poul Henningsen in the mid 1920s. In the early 1930s Henningsen the PH-system was patented and for a short while this was stamped into the socket house as seen on this example. Poul Henningsen designed hundreds of lamps based on the three-shade-system he developed in 1926, enabling unequalled lighting quality for all types of needs. Many of his lamp designs include a number that refers to the shade sizes of each fixture. The PH 3/3 is described as a ‘whole’ sized pendant, characterised by its appealing compact semblance with the top shade of approximately 30 cm corresponding with the middle and lower shade in the proportions of 3:2:1.
