Louis Poulsen PH 2/1 Stem Fitting Suspension Lamp

Louis Poulsen PH 2/1 Stem Fitting is a lamp designed by Poul Henningsen in 1958. This pendant lamp is part of the series of lamps designed by Henningsen in the late '20s and early '30s and featuring his famous three-screen system, so the initials "PH" are accompanied by a number indicating the size of the main screen of the pendant. Henningsen, therefore, designed not just one lamp, but an entire system: about a thousand different models have been produced over the years. Thanks to this type of design, Henningsen was able to achieve a uniform distribution of light over the entire curve of the screen. This uniform distribution, together with the diffuse reflection through the glass, allowed him to control glare and shadows. Each screen reduces the amount of light to the same extent due to their distance from the light source.
PH 2/1 Stem Fitting consists of three lights with an approximately 20 cm top shade but uses lower shades from the 1/1 model.
