The fixture emits a diffused and comfortable glare-free light, characteristic of the reflective three-shade-system by Poul Henningsen.
The fixture is available with white opal glass or soft touch black painted metal with a white inner side. Where the metal shades with the white painted inner sides reflect a fine and primarily downward directed light, the metal top shade combined with translucent opal glass middle and lower shades in three-layered mouth blow opal glass create a warm glow around the pendant too. The included diffuser in frosted glass is easy to insert for an even softer light distribution.

Poul Henningsen was born in Copenhagen by the famous Danish writer Agnes Henningsen. He never graduated as an architect, but studied at The Technical School at Frederiksberg, Denmark from 1911-14, and then at Technical College in Copenhagen from 1914-17. He started practicing traditional functionalistic architecture, but over the years his professional interests changed to focus mainly on lighting which is what he is most famous for.
