  • About the artist

    Poul Henningsen, also known as PH, was a Danish polymath who made significant contributions as an author, critic, architect, and designer. Particularly prominent during the interwar period, he played a pivotal role in shaping the cultural landscape of Denmark.

    Henningsen's name became synonymous with his remarkable creation, the PH-lamp series. These lamps revolutionized lighting design by providing a solution for glare-free illumination.

    Through meticulous analysis and experimentation, he developed a unique approach that involved skillfully manipulating the reflection and diffusion of light rays emitted by the bulb. The result was a warm and gentle radiance that eliminated harshness and discomfort.

    Collaborating closely with the renowned Danish lighting manufacturer Louis Poulsen, Henningsen established a lifelong partnership that brought his ingenious designs to life.

    Poulsen's skilled craftsmanship translated his vision into reality, producing light fixtures that embodied both functionality and aesthetics. Today, Henningsen's groundbreaking works of Danish modern design are revered and exhibited in numerous museums worldwide, showcasing the enduring legacy of his creative genius.
