Product description
Designer pendant lamp in good condition, 2 pieces.
The Louis Poulsen PH 6.5-6 pendant lamp was designed by Poul Henningsen.
The PH 6.5-6 pendant lamp by Louis Poulsen has a diameter of 65 centimeters and a height of 50 centimeters.
Poul Henningsen designed the three-shade system in 1925-1926. The first lamps based on this system were designed for an exhibition in Paris. He continued to work for Louis Poulsen until his death in 1967. Throughout his life, PH sought to create glare-free light, direct light where needed, and soft shadows using incandescent bulbs as the light source. The four-shade system was introduced in 1931 to provide a fixture that could be mounted high and serve as an alternative to the chandeliers commonly used at the time. The PH four-shade lamp was designed for a greater horizontal dispersion of light, which allowed for better illumination of walls and shelves than with standard three-shade lamps. The lamp was removed from the standard range in the 1940s but was redesigned in 1979 by two Danish architects—Sophus Frandsen and Ebbe Christensen—for the Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen, albeit in a larger format: PH 6½/6. As a solution to the perennial problem of glare, the two architects decided to add a small blue shade to the design. They also gave the design a new surface, with a matte, white-painted shade, for a more even, pleasant light—ideal for lighting rooms with high ceilings.
