Story
A whole-sized pendant
Henningsen developed the three-shade system in 1926 and designed hundreds of lamps on it. The PH 3/3 is a whole-sized model with a top shade of about 30 cm in diameter. Whole-sized fixtures are designed to be particularly glare-free and to hang high in a room.
Glass and diffuser
The triple-layered, hand-blown opal glass shades create a warm glow around the pendant. An opal diffuser is included and can be inserted for an even softer light distribution.
