Story
From the three-shade family to the ground
PH 3-2½ Bollard comes from Poul Henningsen's three-shade family, which he conceived as a system and not as a single light. Henningsen was the first to take a scientific approach to light, with the logarithmic spiral as its basis.
Light for the outdoors
The bollard is made for outdoor use and gives a diffused, comfortable light. It is easily mounted on the ground with the base plate for surface mounting, and it can also be fixed with three supplied anchor bolts set into concrete.
