Poul Henningsen designed the three-shade system during 1925/1926. The first lights using the system were designed for an exhibition in Paris. His work with Louis Poulsen continued until his death in 1967. Throughout his life, PH sought to create glare-free lighting; aiming to direct light where it was most needed, and creating soft shadows while using incandescent bulbs as a light source. PH Louvre was designed for the Adventist Church in Skodsborg, Denmark, in 1957. The globe-shaped fixture is made up of 13 shades mounted on four supports. It is a simplification of the Spiral designed by Henningsen in 1942.

Louis Poulsen
Copenhagen, Denmark
At the core of the brand’s philosophy is a focus on glare-free, layered illumination, developed through a scientific understanding of how light interacts with surfaces and space. This is exemplified in the iconic PH series, where carefully positioned shades direct and diffuse light to create a soft, comfortable glow. Rather than relying on excess or ornamentation, each design is driven by function, proportion, and the relationship between light and environment. With a legacy that spans nearly a century, Louis Poulsen continues to evolve through contemporary collaborations while maintaining its foundational principles.
