History of the Lamp
The Louis Poulsen PH 2/1 Table Lamp was designed by the noted Danish architect and designer Poul Henningsen in 1927. The lamp was the first complete lamp design from Poul Henningsen. The PH 2/1 Table Lamp design was inspired by the concept of the logarithmic spiral, which governs the way light reflects and refracts.
The PH 2/1 Table Lamp was designed to combat the harsh glare of electric lighting in the early 20th century. The design of the lampshade ensures that the light source remains hidden while directing the light downwards to illuminate the area below while reflecting the light off the inside of the lampshade.
