Design Poul Henningsen, 1927. White opal glass, chrome plated. "...it is an art to make light both economical and glare free.” -Poul Henningsen PH 3.5-4.5 floor lamp is a member of the of the PH -shade family principles, which were developed in the winter of 1925-26 for a large exhibition hall in Copenhagen, Denmark called “Forum”. The combination of diffused reflection and a logarithmic shade curve gave PH the opportunity to control a fixture’s glare and shading, as each shade would evenly decrease the amount of light emitted according to their distance from the bulb. The PH lamps were designed as a rational lighting system where the size of the shade, its material, and its surfaces could be combined mutually according to the nature of the assignment. The PH3-shade system started out as a pendant solution but very quickly it also developed into other kinds of fixtures and chandeliers.
