The special, limited edition of this famous light is being produced to mark the 120th anniversary of the birth of Poul Henningsen. It will be available to order in the period 1 March through 30 May 2014. A version with painted metal shades will be available for purchase from autumn 2014. A relaunch of one of the first products in Poul Henningsen’s world-famous PH system, which was based on the 3-shade principle. Designed in 1929. The PH 3½-3 is based on Poul Henningsen’s original drawings. A great deal of attention has been devoted to detail in this product. For example, the light features the original type of screen holder with the adjuster screws. The top shade has a rolled edge that makes the shade appear thicker than the actual material – it involves a traditional method that is still performed by hand at Louis Poulsen. The detailed suspension unit allows customers to adjust the height of the light source by up to 3.5 cm, assuring optimal and pleasant lighting. The copper is untreated, so over time the light will develop a unique patina determined by its immediate surroundings. Should you wish to maintain the shiny surface, however, the light can be buffed with copper polish that contains a minimum of abrasives. It is a light that will develop its own personality over time. Both when switched off and when illuminated. A must for collectors and aficionados of PH, the famous light designer. The light is engraved with ‘PH 120’
