PH 3½-2½ Table Lamp – Green

PH 3 ½-2 ½ Table was designed in 1928 and is one of many development projects undertaken by PH in connection with the development of its world famous three-screen system. The table lamp is based on PH’s original drawings, and comes with the first type of shade holder, complete with adjusting screws. The upper metal shade has a rolled edge, a decorative and stabilising feature that makes the shade appear thicker than the actual material. The two lower screens are made of blown opaline glass. PH has found that this combination makes better use of the light source, directing it downwards by reflecting off the white inner surface of the upper shade. The frame is made of brown painted brass, which gives the lamp the same look as the burnished brass lamps of the time, a process that is no longer recommended for environmental reasons.
