DESIGNER: POUL HENNINGSEN DENMARK
Poul Henningsen designed the three-shade system back in 1925-1926. The PH 2/1 Pendant is a member of the three-shade family which numbers 30 lights today, including three for outdoor use.
PH was the first person to pursue a scientific approach to light and use the logarithmic spiral as a basis. By using a design based on the logarithmic spiral he achieved even distribution of light over the entire curve of the shade. This even light distribution, together with the diffuse reflection through the glass, made it possible to control glare and shadow. Each shade reduces the amount of light equally, due to their distance from the light source. The PH light model numbers refer to the shade size. Each top shade had a corresponding set of middle and lower shades.
The PH 2/1 Pendant consists of an approximately 20 cm top shade, but uses lower shades from the 1/1 model. These ‘hybrid’ models were introduced due to the desire to hang the pendants at lower heights.
