PH 3/3 Aged Brass Opal Pendant Lamp

The PH 3/3 is part of the three-shade system Poul Henningsen developed in 1926, and its numbers refer to the shade sizes: a top shade of about 30 cm, with middle and lower shades following in the proportions 3:2:1. Henningsen designed these full-size models to be particularly free of glare, so they are meant to hang high in a room.

In this version the top shade, suspension and canopy are aged brass with a hairline finish, lacquered to preserve it. The white-painted underside of the brass shade reflects the light mainly downwards. Middle and lower shades are three-layer, mouth-blown opal glass, glossy on top and sandblasted matt inside, with a frosted glass diffuser at the bottom, together giving an even, diffused light.

At Ø 28.5 cm it works in smaller rooms as well as under high ceilings, in kitchens, hallways, bedrooms or living rooms. It hangs from a 4 m black textile cord and takes one E27 bulb, not included.
