PH 4½-3 Outdoor Wall Lamp

$3,945.00

The fixture is designed based on the principle of a reflective three-shade system, which directs the light downwards. The shades have a matte white painted inside to ensure diffuse, comfortable light distribution.

Poul Henningsen designed the three-shade system in 1925-1926, aiming to create glare-free lighting with soft shadows. This system, developed with Louis Poulsen, includes around 1,000 models of table, floor, wall, and chandelier lights, known for their even light distribution based on the logarithmic spiral. PH Wall, launched in 1966, is part of this family and features a 45 cm top shade with lower shades from the 3/3 model, offering a unique hybrid design for lower-hanging pendants.

Designer

Poul Henningsen (1894-1967) was a highly influential Danish designer, architect, writer, and cultural critic, renowned for his pioneering work in lighting design, which remains integral to Louis Poulsen’s heritage. Born in Copenhagen to writers Agnes Henningsen and Carl Ewald, Henningsen initially practiced functionalist architecture but became famous for his innovative lighting designs. During WWII, he briefly served as the head architect for Tivoli Gardens before fleeing to Sweden, where he joined a community of Danish artists.

Brand

Established in 1874 as a lighting manufacturer, Louis Poulsen has become one of the world's leading producers of lighting. This success is attributed to collaborations with renowned designers and architects like Arne Jacobsen, Øivind Slaatto, Poul Henningsen, and Verner Panton.
