Louis Poulsen PH 3 ½-3 Copper Pendant

Louis Poulsen PH 3 ½-3 Copper Pendant from 1929 is released in the occasion of Poul Henningsen’s 120-year anniversary. The special, limited edition of this famous light will be available to order in the period 1 March through 30 May 2014. A brilliant opportunity to give yourself a unique and beautiful lamp not everyone has!

Louise PH 3 ½-3 copper pendant is based on Poul Henningsen’s original drawings. Designed in 1929 and one of the first products in Poul Henningsen’s world-famous PH system, which was based on the 3-shade principle. A great deal of attention has been devoted to detail in this product. For example, the light features the original type of screen holder with the adjuster screws. The top shade has a rolled edge that makes the shade appear thicker than the actual material – it involves a traditional method that is still performed by hand at Louis Poulsen. The detailed suspension unit allows customers to adjust the height of the light source by up to 3.5 cm, assuring optimal and pleasant lighting.

The copper is untreated, so over time the light will develop a unique patina determined by its immediate surroundings. If you wish to maintain the shiny surface, however, the light can be buffed with copper polish that contains a minimum of abrasives. It is a light that will develop its own personality over time. Both when switched off and when illuminated. A must for collectors and aficionados of PH, the famous light designer. The light is engraved with ‘PH 120’
