The PH 2/1 Cordless Table Lamp from Louis Poulsen, designed by Poul Henningsen, offers a clever retro aesthetic with a touch of glamour. Ascending from a circular base, its slim central stem features telescoping cylindrical elements supporting a layered dome shade that glows from within, creating glare-free lighting. The mouth-blown three-layer white opal glass directs soft, harmonious light primarily downwards, based on Henningsen's celebrated three-shade system from 1925. With a scientific approach to light, Henningsen achieved even distribution and reduced glare and shadow, making this lamp functional and stylish.
