Description

Poul Henningsen designed the lampshade set in 1925-26, a lighting system based on the logarithmic spiral, creating direct, glare-free light while producing soft shadows. The first lamps using this system were designed by Poul Henningsen in cooperation with Louis Poulsen for a show in Paris. Based on the same lampshade set concept, the PH80 lamp was created in 1974, after the death of Poul Henningsen, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of his birth - hence the name PH 80. Most of the light from the PH 80 floor lamp is directed downwards and the opalised acrylic shades provide pleasant illumination in the room.

Poul HENNINGSEN

Born in 1894 in Denmark, Poul Henningsen studied architecture at the Polytechnic from 1915 to 1917. He studied at the Technical School in Frederiksberg, Denmark, from 1911 to 1914, then at the Technical University of Copenhagen from 1914 to 1917, although he never graduated in architecture. In 1920, the designer began working as a freelance architect, but also worked as a journalist, writing numerous articles for various newspapers.A writer and designer, he was an emblematic figure in Danish cultural life during the two world wars. He went on to work for the famous Danish publisher Louis Poulsen, and quickly achieved international success with his PH lamps, first exhibited in 1925 at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris. Poul Henningsen designed timeless lamps whose aestheticism still appeals to vintage design aficionados. PH lamps are all encircled by a number of metal or glass shades that act as reflectors, providing soft, diffused light that's both functional and soft. The design of these luminaires is such that it is impossible to see the light source directly, making them totally glare-free.The technique he developed made him one of the greatest Scandinavian designers of the 20th century.

LOUIS POULSEN

Danish brand Louis Poulsen was founded in 1874, originating from traditional Scandinavian design where form follows function. Louis Poulsen became the owner of the company in 1906 after the death of his uncle, Ludvig R. Poulsen. Louis Poulsen’s approach to architectural development began when he collaborated with one of the world’s leading lighting designers, Poul Henningsen. In 1924, the designer began collaborating with Louis Poulsen lighting; their objective was to take part in the "International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts". In 1925 the collaboration proved successful and the Poul Henningsen lamps won the gold medal. Following this victory, the two men marketed their products in France, England and Denmark.
