He never graduated as an architect, but studied at The Technical School at Frederiksberg, Denmark from 1911-14, and then at Technical College in Copenhagen from 1914-17. He started practicing traditional functionalistic architecture, but over the years his professional interests changed to focus mainly on lighting. He also expanded his field of occupation into areas of writing, becoming a journalist and an author. For a short period at the beginning of WWII, he was the head architect of the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. But like many other creative people, he was forced to flee Denmark during the German occupation but soon became a vital part of the Danish colony of artists living in Sweden. His lifelong collaboration with Louis Poulsen Lighting began in 1925 and lasted until his death. To this day, Louis Poulsen Lighting still benefits from his genius. Poul Henningsen was also the first editor of the company magazine "NYT". The CEO of Louis Poulsen at the time, Sophus Kaastrup-Olsen, gave the magazine to PH as a gift because he had been terminated from the Danish newspaper he worked for (his opinions were too radical). Poul Henningsen's pioneering work concerning the relations between light structures, shadows, glare, and color reproduction—compared to man's need for light remains the foundation of the lighting theories still practiced by Louis Poulsen Lighting. Louis PoulsenCreating ideal functional, comfortable and ambience-generating lighting for people has been Louis Poulsen Lighting's mission from its incorporation. Louis Poulsen Lighting's overall ambition is to create harmonious and people-friendly lighting. Customer ReviewsClean, crisp and complimentary. Perfect for a smaller dining space with great light output. Does not over power the space and creates a nice design element. By: Arch59, Architect (Seattle WA, USA) Beautiful fixture I bought 3 of these pendants for a long hallway in my home. They are beautiful and well made. We are pleased with this selection and the service from YLighting. The ship time was reasonable and the fixtures well-packaged. By: W.F., Homeowner (Florida) Exquisite! While this Poulson light fixture is not inexpensive, it is absolutely worth it. Everyone who walks into my living room comments on how beautiful it is. The pendant light 'makes' the room now. It's wonderful. By: Cathy C., Homeowner (Houston, TX) Six stars...perfect light and classic design! The Poulsen PH4/3 fixture is over our Aalto kitchen table and the PH5 is over our dining room table. Both provide the perfect amount of light and make a modern classic design statement. In fact, we have used both in all the homes we have owned and when they were sold the new owners insisted that they were part of the sale. By: Milos, Homeowner (Beaufort, NC) Classic, elegant modern styling, beautiful functional light fixture. I was a little concerned that it would provide enough light, rated for 100W and just under 16 in wide, but it efficiently focuses the light nicely downward. A very handsome light fixture. By: N. M., Architect (Albany, NY) Great, fantastic product and service, would defintely buy again. Like the scale of the light, small and subtle. Some info on what the ceiling canopy looks like would be good for future purchases though. By: H B., Designer (New Zealand) Excellent and very beutiful. The lamp works very well. I installed it above a dinning table, but i felt that the orange cover below the bulb reduced the light too much, so I did not use it. By: Federico G., (Houston Tx) Love it! It's exactly like the picture. Solid. Packaged well. Am using it in my updated kitchen over an island. Only problem, at first they sent me the wrong light. But, customer service was easy to work with and I recieved the correct light without a problem. By: Angelina B., Homeowner (New Jersey) Great design, creates a look and pulls the room together. Love the way this light looks in our mid-century kitchen, The crushed chrome works very well against our brushed nickel pulls and hardware. What's better than the way it looks is how it functions. The light is remarkably diffuse and even, you can stand under it and never feel like you are in a spotlight, yet the light is very adequate to a 10 X 10 areas (we are adding a second one because we love it and the space does need at least 2 different sources). Let's face it, lighting is tough, and there are millions of bad lighting choices out there, that's why we love the PH. By: Mark P., Homeowner (San Francisco) simple and elegant This is a somewhat understated lamp that looks great without being too much of a statement. By: RD, Homeowner (Norwich VT) Modern classic at a reasonable price Simple, stylish fixture. Fast, free shipping. By: AG, Homeowner (New York) Excellent service, wonderfull product at a great price, will definitely buy from YLighting again!! This Lamp is just wonderfull just as expected from a master designer like Poulsen, I´m saving now for getting another one from YLighting. By: rafael o., Designer (Hollywood - Fl) This is a beautiful lighting fixture! This lighting fixture is perfect! It is mid-century at its best. The design is simple, yet profound. The fixture is very light in weight, and it seems to float in the air making a beautiful statement without overpowering. The design allows light to filter out of the fixture without the bulb being seen from any angle - comfortable, beautiful lighting! By: Ali, Homeowner (Sayville, NY, USA) Free Shipping.
