Story
A hybrid shade combination
PH model numbers refer to shade size. The PH 3/2 Wall is built with an approximately 30 cm top shade, with lower shades taken from the 2/2 model.
Opal glass and the light
The fixture is built on a reflective three-shade system that sends most of the light downwards. The glass is mouth-blown in three layers, shiny on the top and sandblasted matt on the inside, which gives a soft and diffused light.
