Item description
The PH Snowball lamp is a Danish lighting classic created for Louis Poulsen by architect and designer Poul Henningsen in 1958. Poul Henningsen is known for his innovative work in the field of lighting design, in particular his use of layered lampshades to create soft, diffused light effects. His search for lamps that completely eliminated glare allowed him to create an entire series of luminaires, fascinating in both appearance and function. Series production of this lamp began in the early 1980s and this one in particular dates from the 1980s to the 1990s. The PH Snowball lamp features a distinctive design with multiple concentric lampshades, which diffuse and direct light in a way that eliminates glare and provides comfortable, ambient lighting. The lamp is composed of a series of layered white metal shades arranged in a spherical shape, like a snowball, hence the name. This design approach is aimed at achieving an even and pleasant illumination without jarring shadows. When the lamp is switched on, it emits a light into its surroundings that does not dazzle at all and, at the same time, illuminates itself. This vintage pendant lamp is ideal for lighting a living room or dining table. The PH Snowball lamp is often considered a timeless icon of mid-century Scandinavian design and is still produced and appreciated by design enthusiasts today. It is one of many designs by Poul Henningsen that demonstrate his mastery of creating functional and visually appealing lighting solutions. The lamp has been checked by our team and is working properly. Overall, perfect original condition with original wiring. Requires an E27 b bulb.
