Louis Poulsen PH 3/3 Pendant Light Centenary Edition

Manufacturer: Louis Poulsen | Designer: Poul Henningsen, 1926

A Century of Balanced Light

The PH 3/3 Pendant Centenary Edition celebrates one hundred years of Poul Henningsen's System PH, the mathematical approach to shade design that made comfortable, glare-free lighting possible for a wide range of interiors. Its compact three-shade composition follows the 3:2:1 proportions of the original system, giving the pendant a precise silhouette and a warm, considered presence.

An amber upper shade creates a gentle glow into the room, while the two lower shades direct a soft, diffused light downwards. Each shade is mouth-blown glass, with a glossy outer surface and sandblasted matte inner surface that helps soften the light and reduce glare above a dining table, kitchen island or other central setting.

Warm Materials, Refined Detail

Aged brass brings a rich, vintage character to the pendant and is carefully lacquered to preserve its patina. The dark brown textile cord complements the brass finish, while decorative thumbscrews echo the suspension details used in Henningsen's early System PH designs. Together, the materials make this a contemporary light with a clear connection to its 1926 origins.
