PH 4.5/3.5 table lamp is a member of the of the PH 3-shade family principles, which were developed in the winter of 1925-26 for a large exhibition hall in Copenhagen, Denmark called ?"Forum". The combination of diffused reflection and a logarithmic shade curve gave PH the opportunity to control a fixture's glare and shading, as each shade would evenly decrease the amount of light emitted according to their distance from the bulb.
The PH fixtures were designed as a rational lighting system where the size of the shade, its material, and its surfaces could be combined mutually according to the nature of the assignment.The PH3-shade system started out as a pendant solution but very quickly it also developed into other kinds of fixtures and chandeliers.
PH 4.5/3.5 table floor lamp provides a primarily downward illumination. It is based on the principle of a reflecting multi-shade system, creating a harmonious and glare free illumination. All handblown opal glass shades are sandblasted on the undersides for uniform light distribution.

He never graduated as an architect but started practicing traditional functionalistic architecture, which led to a focus mainly on lighting which is what he is most famous for. His field of occupation also included areas of writing and.
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'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.
