Story
Three shades for the outdoors
PH 3-2½ Wall is a member of the three-shade family. Poul Henningsen designed not only a lamp but a whole system, and around a thousand different models were produced over the years, from table, floor and wall lamps to a number of chandeliers. This wall version is built for outdoor use and finished in black powder coat.
Light from the three-shade system
Most of the light is directed down by the three reflective shades. The inside of the shades is painted matte white, which diffuses the light comfortably, and the lamp gives a diffused, comfortable light for the outdoor environment.
