The PH 80 was originally a table and floor lamp designed in tribute to Poul Henningsen, one of Denmark's most renowned designers, especially celebrated for his work with lighting. The PH 80 was created in 1974, after Henningsen's death, as a homage to him on what would have been his 80th birthday.

The original PH 80 is part of Henningsen's famous "PH series" and follows his principles of creating glare-free lighting through a multi-shade design. The PH 80 Table Lamp is both functional and aesthetic, providing comfortable, indirect lighting that is warm and diffuse, making it suitable for both private homes and professional environments.
