  • I've tried looking but I can't find anything about visor lines or viser linjer anywhere online.

  • Poul Henningsen was evangelistic towards the development of modern lighting.

    His two most successful designs the "PH lamp," designed in 1924 and the "Artichoke" have become icons of modern design.

    The "PH" lamp, also callled the "Paris" lamp because of its award winning appearance at the Paris World Exhibition incorporates tiers of shades, allowing the user to direct light in several different directions without exposing the light source.

  • Poul Henningsen 1894-1967

    Born in Ordrup Poul Henningsen trained as an architect at the Danish College of Technology in Copenhagen. On graduating he worked in Copenhagen as an independent architect.

    Finding the style of traditional lighting designs to be insufficient for his interiors he began designing his own solutions. He was depressed by "how dismal people's homes are," and realised that "electric light gave the possibility of wallowing in light."
