Poul Henningsen

Poul Henningsen, often known as PH, was a Danish designer and architect who revolutionized lighting design by creating fixtures that provide soft, glare-free illumination. Beginning his collaboration with Louis Poulsen in the 1920s, Henningsen developed innovative lamps like the iconic PH Lamp and the sculptural PH Artichoke, which use layered shades to diffuse light evenly and create a warm, inviting atmosphere. His work focused on enhancing human comfort and well-being through thoughtful light distribution, blending functionality with striking aesthetics. Today, Henningsen’s timeless designs remain influential and are celebrated worldwide for their blend of beauty and practicality.
