The PH 2/1 Pale Rose Brass Table Lamp scales Poul Henningsen's glare-free, layered light down to its most intimate format: a 20 cm top shade over the smallest lower-shade set. Henningsen loved subtle rose hues — first seen in his Rosa Septima and early Artichokes — and this Louis Poulsen edition revives those colour studies in mouth-blown Italian glass, each shade slightly unique, on brushed untreated brass that develops a natural patina.
At this scale the PH 2/1 excels where space is tight: a narrow windowsill, hallway console or bedside shelf, where it pools soft rose-tinted light that flatters wood, linen and warm-toned interiors. Explore more of Henningsen's work in our Louis Poulsen collection or browse compact table lamps.
Light source: G9, 1 bulb, max 33 W. IP20, indoor. Bulb not included — we recommend a G9 LED (1.9–2.5 W).

Louis Poulsen
Henningsen's smallest three-shade lamp in opal glass
The PH 2/1 is the smallest member of Poul Henningsen's three-shade system, which he set out with Louis Poulsen in 1925–26. A 20 cm top shade sits over the smallest lower shades in mouth-blown opal glass. It comes as a pendant, a table lamp, a wall lamp and a cordless portable.

Small but glare-free
The shades are calculated so you see glowing glass and never the bulb.
Glass blown by hand
Each shade is blown by hand, so slight variations in thickness and texture are normal.
A format for every spot
Hang it, stand it, fix it to the wall or carry the cordless version from room to room.
Warm when dimmed
The portable dims to a warmer colour, from 2700 K down to 1800 K.

The three-shade system
Henningsen placed every shade on a logarithmic spiral, so light is caught and reflected before it reaches the room. The system grew into a family of hundreds of lamps, and the 2/1 is its most compact form.

Glass that spreads light
The opal glass is glossy outside and sandblasted underneath. That keeps the light even and soft, while the whole lamp glows gently when switched on. Because each shade is blown by hand, no two are quite the same.

Small rooms and corners
The PH 2/1 suits a bedside table, a desk, a window sill or a narrow hallway. Its 20 cm shade gives a pool of soft light without filling the space. The portable goes wherever you need it, with no cord to plan around.
Materials
Mouth-blown opal glass
Three layers, sandblasted underneath; wipe it with a damp cloth when cool.
Metal stem and fittings
In chrome, brass or black finishes depending on the version; dust with a dry cloth.
Rechargeable battery
In the portable, it gives about 5 hours at full light and charges by cable.
Designer and brand
Poul Henningsen
1894–1967
Henningsen was a Danish architect, writer and designer who began working with Louis Poulsen in 1924, a partnership that lasted until his death in 1967. His lamp for the 1925 Paris Exposition won gold, and in 1925–26 he set out the three-shade system behind the whole PH collection.
Using it at home
Why does my glass look slightly different?
Each shade is mouth-blown, so small variations in thickness and texture are part of the craft.
How do I clean it?
Let it cool, then wipe the glass with a soft, lightly damp cloth and dry it.
Where does it work best?
On a bedside table, a desk or a sideboard; it is 355 mm tall with a 200 mm shade.
Can I dim it?
Yes, with a dimmable bulb and a compatible dimmer.
Will the brass change?
The untreated brushed brass on the Pale Rose version develops a patina over time.
