| CHANINTR, the leading retailer of luxury home furnishing in Thailand, announced the limited edition of PH 3/2 Amber Colored Glass Floor Lamp by Louis Poulsen at Craft Showroom on 3rd Floor of Siam Paragon. In honor of Poul Henningsen’s legacy, Louis Poulsen introduced a limited edition of the PH 3/2 Amber Colored Glass Floor Lamp and it is available to order until December 30, 2019 only. In the 1950s, Louis Poulsen introduced a new reading lamp by Poul Henningsen, the celebrated pioneer of Danish design. Because of its adjustable arm that can be levered up and down, the lamp was immediately dubbed ‘The Water Pump’. The Water Pump retains PH’s famous three-shade system from 1926, which he invented to reduce glare and enhance illumination in his lamp designs. The shades are made of mouth-blown amber-colored glass, golden on both sides and slightly translucent, which produces a warm and inviting light. In the late 1920s, Poul Henningsen and Louis Poulsen introduced colored glass lamps to attract new customers, but perhaps the golden ambience that the shades created also reminded the designer of the old days before electricity became standard in every home, sitting at night in the soft glow of kerosene lamps. |  |
The base, stem and arm are made of untreated brushed brass that enhances the authentic feel of the Water Pump to create a sophisticated, yet intimate and cosy ambience in any interior. The light switch can be traced back to Henningsen’s 1927 table lamps. Also crafted from brushed brass, the through-switch is located at the end of the arm. Henningsen’s initials are beautifully engraved beneath the switch.
A tradition of ambience-making colored glass Louis Poulsen and Poul Henningsen initially introduced colored, mouth-blown glass lamps in the late 1920s to attract new customers. Then as now, the naturally varying colorations won people over with their warmth and distinctiveness, highlighting the beauty of hand-craftsmanship. Because the glass of each shade is crafted individually, each lamp is unique – and as much a work of art as a functional addition to the spaces we cherish.
Glass shades also come with the added bene t of allowing light to pass through them, providing not only downward and outward but also upward soft illumination that contributes to the overall room lighting. The gentle golden glow is reminiscent of life by candlelight – an experience Henningsen was keen to recreate and augment as he worked to shape electric light to human needs.
The new and limited edition of PH 3/2 Amber Colored Glass Floor Lamp by Louis Poulsen is available to order at Craft Showroom, Siam Paragon, 3rd Floor until December 30, 2019. For more information please contact +662 129 4577.
