Story
A PH classic becomes portable
The PH 80 was first introduced as a floor lamp and a table lamp in 1974, in tribute to Poul Henningsen. The series now also includes this portable version, which takes the classic three-shade system in white opal acrylic and makes it cordless.
The PH principles
Poul Henningsen's PH series follows a multi-shade principle that gives glare-free lighting, and the original PH 80 is part of it.
