Louis Poulsen PH 3½-3

The Louis Poulsen PH 3½-3 Pendant is a faithful revival of Poul Henningsen’s original 1920s design, celebrating one of the most enduring innovations in lighting history: the three-shade system. Created to provide glare-free, evenly distributed illumination, this system redefined domestic lighting by offering a warm, comfortable glow with directional precision. Each pendant in the PH 3½-3 family is a timeless piece that honours Henningsen’s legacy, blending function, form and atmosphere with effortless charm.

Available in a range of finishes, from mouth-blown opal glass and polished brass to vibrant coloured metals with rolled white edges, the PH 3½-3 offers something for both contemporary and classic interiors. Whether suspended solo above a dining table or arranged in a colourful cluster in a hospitality setting, its sculptural profile provides warmth and visual interest both lit and unlit. Each shade is crafted in Denmark using traditional pressing methods, underscoring the fixture’s heritage value and artisanal quality. Over time, finishes like untreated brass will develop a rich patina, adding character to a design already steeped in history.
