About the Item
by Tina Jorstian & Poul Erik Munk Nielson
Light Years Ahead depicts Poul Henningsen's role in the evolution of light fittings. From the very outset his work with lamps was was guided by a desire to improve electric lighting. In that sense his lamps can be regarded as practical answers to a series of significant theoretical questions concerning lighting: questions he had already posed at a relatively young age.
The main emphasis of the book is on Henningsen's most artistically productive period in the inter-war years with the design of the 3-shade PH lamp in 1926 as its focal point. The creation of that particular lamp has become almost legendary, with PH himself contributing to the trivial notion that it came to him in a flash - over a cup of coffee- sometime in the winter if 1925-26! A scarce hardback book, 304 pages with hundreds of photographs and illustrations. 1690grams.
