About the Item

AFTER POUL HENNINGSEN PH5 ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ALUMINUM LAMPS IN THE WORLD! BAUHAUS/ ART DECO STYLE! ALUMINUM REFLECTOR SHADE LIGHT DIFFUSING STYLE TABLE/DESK LAMP! (APPROX. 19.5" TALL By 15" WIDE ) This is one marvelous lamp. Here is an all aluminum table lamp clearly derived (inspired) from the Louis Henningsen 1958 PH5 ceiling lamp! Louis Poulsen was as curious as we were and did us the kind service of taking a week and checking all their catalogs and archives to see if it was one of their designs, but could find no evidence of any PH5 table lamp designs like this. We have never seen another like it in all our years, so we know it is incredibly scarce - possibly one of a kind. Based on the materials we are assuming it was made circa 1960 - slightly after Henningsen introduced the PH5 and in the wake of its surging popularity. The quality of this lamp is off the charts! Hard to perform aluminum sculpting and a design that is impeccable! The top diffusing dish visually extends from the tapering base - like it were a single piece penetrating the reflector shade! Nothing so crude as a switch was permitted to interrupt the smooth lines of the beautifully molded base and a cord switch was employed to keep anyone from having to touch the lamp base or bump into the shade fumbling for a socket switch. The result of this attention to detail has kept this lamp in excellent condition for almost 65 years! Aluminum is marvelous with only light age wear. It shows age, but much less than is warranted! This lamp is imposing in all regards. The light manipulation and diffusing effect of the light emerging from the top and bottom is in keeping with Henningsen's quest for light diffusion and no glare. The size of the lamp is deceptively large. One simply doesn't come across any nearly 20 inch tall reflector lamps that are 15 inches wide. It's just...beautiful. Whoever is lucky enough to acquire this magnificent lamp will have a very rare treasure worthy of a design museum. An incredible addition to your New York penthouse, Frankfurt Apartment, or West Palm Beach estate!
