Story
Hybrid shade sizes
The PH model numbers refer to the shade size, and each top shade has a matching set of middle and lower shades. In the pure models, such as the 2/2, the top shade is about 20 cm. The PH 3/2 Pendant combines a top shade of roughly 30 cm with the lower shades of the 2/2, a hybrid made for hanging pendants lower.
Glass and finishes
The three-shade system was designed by Poul Henningsen during 1925/1926. Here the glass is hand-blown in three layers, and the suspension comes in three finishes.
