Named for an 80th anniversary

The PH 80 was created in 1974, after Poul Henningsen's death, to mark the 80th anniversary of his birth, which gives the lamp its name. Its model number does not refer to the top shade diameter, as it does for most of the three-shade models.

Reflected, diffused light

The fixture emits a diffused, reflected and symmetrical light, with the majority directed downward. The opal acrylic shades give comfortable room lighting. The original has a red top reflector, and the black and white versions have a white one.
