Pair of Poul Henningsen PH 4.5 Sconces
Louis Poulsen
DENMARK
1940s
Patinated copper
12 ½” high x 17” wide x 19 ½” deep
Poul Henningsen was not seeking beauty of form in his revolutionary design, but optimal quality of light. Nevertheless, the lamp he created after much trial and error in collaboration with Louis Poulsen achieves both so perfectly that it has never gone out of production and has attained the status of design icon.
This vintage pair are wonderfully patinated from their use outdoors.
