Very rare table lamp version of the well-known PH 5 pendant lamp by Poulsen based on a design by Poul Henningsen. The staggered shades of the lamp direct the light in different directions, both directly downwards and sideways into the room. She also stages her own form through the illumination of the umbrellas. The lamp is shielded by the slats so that it cannot dazzle. At the top, the lamp has a chrome cover that is closed with three screws and can be opened to change the lamp. The chrome of the lid is repeated in the base of the lamp. The shade sits on three slim supports that end in a plate base at the bottom. There is a pressure switch in the middle of the base. The reflective chrome surface of the plate base reflects the lampshade, the surroundings and visually duplicates the chrome-colored switch. The lamp is in very good condition with signs of wear.
