The PH-lamp is a term for light fixtures designed by Danish designer and writer
Poul Henningsen. The term is sometimes used to refer to any lamp designed by Henningsen or specially Henningsen's three-shade lamp series. The lamps are produced by
Louis Poulsen.
Henningsen's lamps are designed with multiple concentric shades to eliminate
visual glare, only emitting reflected light, obscuring the light source. Henningsen's sleek, spare lamp was first presented at the 1925
International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts where it was awarded a gold medal.
