ABOUT PRODUCTID 9517
The PH 4/3 pendant lamp, designed by Poul Henningsen for Louis Poulsen in Denmark during the 1960s, embodies the essence of Scandinavian modernism rooted in the rigorous logic of form and light. Its metal body presents a warm, off-white hue with a matte finish, reinforcing a calm, understated presence. Three concentrically arranged shades, defined by geometric lines and precise proportions, are based on the logarithmic spiral principle, providing even light diffusion and eliminating glare. The largest shade gently dominates the silhouette, while the two smaller ones below create a layered effect; the construction is seamless, with no visible screws and a discreetly integrated power cord. The lamp is preserved in very good condition, with only minimal traces of use and is fully functional. Its form quietly narrates the story of northern modernism from the 1960s: harmonious proportions, restrained color, and light that gently shapes the interior rather than imposing itself. This is the voice of an era when the designer—drawing from mathematics and craftsmanship—sought balance between scientific precision and everyday comfort. The matte surface absorbs excess glare, and the soft, curved lines of the shades evoke a time when design meant not only visual effect, but also care for the eye and the atmosphere of the home. The PH 4/3 lamp can be suspended over a dining table, in a living room, or above a kitchen island—its neutral tone pairs equally well with pale woods, raw concrete, or classic white walls. It may be combined with other Scandinavian accents such as teak coffee tables, natural-hued textiles, or minimalist graphics. The lamp fits effortlessly within mid-century modern interiors, but is equally at home in contemporary, eclectic, or collector’s spaces, introducing a soothing, orderly rhythm of light.
