The PH-lamp is a term for light fixtures designed by Danish designer and writer Poul Henningsen.[1] The term is sometimes used to refer to any lamp designed by Henningsen,[2] or specially Henningsen's three-shade lamp series.[3] The lamps are produced by Louis Poulsen.
Henningsen's lamps are designed with multiple concentric shades to eliminate visual glare, only emitting reflected light, obscuring the light source.[4] Henningsen's sleek, spare lamp was first presented at the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts where it was awarded a gold medal.[5]
