PH 2/1 Stem Fitting
The PH 2/1 Stem Fitting, part of Louis Poulsen's three-shade family, offers a versatile lighting solution. Originally designed in the 1930s, the PH series includes over 30 variations, catering to diverse needs. Poul Henningsen (PH) pioneered a scientific approach to lighting, utilizing the logarithmic spiral for even light distribution and glare control. The PH 2/1 Stem Fitting features a 7.8 inch top shade and utilizes lower shades from the 1/1 model, introduced in 2003 for pendant installations at lower heights. This adaptation maintains PH's legacy of innovative lighting design.
