Louis Poulsen PH 3½-3 Glass Pendant Light

Manufacturer: Louis Poulsen | Designer: Poul Henningsen

Poul Henningsen developed his three-shade system in 1926 — a geometric approach to lighting based on the logarithmic spiral, in which every surface angle is calculated to redirect and soften the output of the bulb, eliminating glare entirely. The PH 3½-3 Glass Pendant is a hybrid configuration: a 350mm top shade paired with the proportionally smaller lower shades from the PH 3 family. It is designed to hang at mid to high height, directing the majority of light downward while the opal glass shades illuminate the surrounding space with a soft, even glow.

Three mouth-blown three-layer white opal glass shades — glossy on the exterior, sandblasted matte on the underside — produce a harmonious, glare-free light distribution. The drawn brass suspension is available in three finishes: high lustre chrome plated, black metallised, or brass metallised. A canopy is included.
