Designed in Denmark, 1931, it was manufactured between 1931-33. Henningsen (1894-1967), an author and architect, is best remembered in the design world for his work in lighting – particularly well-known is his PH-lamp, which was made to resemble an artichoke – as well as the PH Grand Piano, which features a transparent case.
His working relationship with Louis Poulsen, a lighting manufacturer, began in 1924 when he created the influential Paris lamp for the business. The company, which was founded in 1874, specialised in the sort of Scandinavian design that Modernity Stockholm trades in today.
At PAD London, which runs from October 1-7 in London’s Berkeley Square, the dealership joins 67 others from around the world. Between them, the exhibitors offer art, design, decorative and tribal art, antiquities and jewellery. This staging of the event features 10 new international galleries, including Achille Salvagni, an Italian designer; VST, an antiquities specialist; and Karen Swami, a Parisian ceramicist.
