Description
The PH 2/1 Portable lampe, designed by Poul Henningsen for Louis Poulsen, is based on the principle of a set of reflective shades that direct most of the light downwards. The shades are composed of three layers of blown opalised glass, polished on the outside and sandblasted on the inside, which emit a soft, diffused light.
The PH 2/1 Portable is a cordless version of the classic small table lamp, with hand-blown opaline glass shades and a foot and base in shiny chrome or metallic brass. The portable version of the lamp is perfect for indoor and outdoor use, such as in a library or on a bedside table.

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.
