By using a scientific approach to light and logarithmic spiral as a basis, Poul Henningsen was able to achieve an even distribution of light over the entire curve of the shade. The PH light model numbers refer to the size of the shade.

Trained as an architect, Poul Henningsen is best known for a series of lighting fixtures that resulted from his fascination with the then-new technology of the electric light bulb. In 1925, one of these fixtures won first prize for modern lighting at the International Exposition of Decorative Arts in Paris. The next year it was put into production by Louis Poulsen & Co. in Copenhagen, and it has been in continuous international demand ever since.
