Louis Poulsen PH 80 Table Lamp
Manufacturer: Louis Poulsen | Designer: Poul Henningsen
The PH 80 Table Lamp is a lamp with a story worth knowing. Poul Henningsen devoted his life to the pursuit of light that was kind — soft, shadowless, and free of glare. The three-shade system he pioneered in the 1920s became one of the most influential ideas in lighting design, and the PH 80 is its quiet tribute.
It was created in 1974, seven years after Henningsen's death, to mark what would have been his 80th birthday. Rather than a retrospective piece, it feels entirely present — at home on a desk, a sideboard, or a dining table, casting the kind of warm, enveloping light that makes a room feel considered.
Light Concept
The PH 80 Table Lamp emits a diffused, reflected, symmetrical light, with the majority directed downward. The opal acrylic shades soften the output into comfortable, even room lighting. On the Original version, the red top reflector adds a warm, amber-tinged glow. The White version uses a white top reflector for a cleaner, cooler result. In both cases, the choice of bulb will influence the final quality of light.
- Light source: 1 × E14 (not included)
- Cord: 2.5m textile cord with plug
- Switch: On/off on cord
- Weight: 1.66kg
- IP20 | Class II
Also available as the PH 80 Floor Lamp and the PH 80 Portable Lamp. Part of the Louis Poulsen PH Lights collection.
