PH 2/2 Question Mark Table Lamp - Pale Rose

Design: Poul Henningsen, 1931 for Louis Poulsen.

Originally designed by Poul Henningsen in 1931, the PH 2/2 Question Mark Table Lamp is based on the iconic three-shade system known as the System PH, where three mouthblown glass shades provide a soft glare-free light. With its name deriving from the curvature of the stem, the petite table lamp has a characteristic form and an adjustable lamp head which can rotate 45 degrees to either, to direct light where it is required.

Until the mid-1950s, the PH 2/2 Question Mark Table Lamp was made of brass and available with colored glass shades in amber, red or yellow, as well as the classic opal glass, to honour this and Henningsen’s fascination with color and light, the PH 2/2 Question Mark Pale Rose Table Lamp was created.

The fixture has been designed on the principle of a reflecting multi-shade system, emitting a glare-free, downward directed light, while radiating a pleasantly delicate glow. The shades are made of mouth-blown four-layer pale rose opal glass, which is glossy on top and sandblasted matt opal white on the underside, providing a soft and uniform light distribution. The adjustable upper part of the lamp can be tilted 45 degrees to the right or left by turning the handle on the middle of the arm.
