Henningsen’s philosophy emphasized glare-free, evenly diffused light, ensuring that observers never look directly into the light source. His layered shade system—multiple concentric shades—manages the reflection and direction of light, providing a perfect blend of functional and ambient illumination. In 2015, Louis Poulsen released this Limited Edition in copper with opal glass shades, making it a rare and highly collectible piece. Each lamp is unique, particularly due to the natural patina of the unprotected copper, which develops character over time, as intended by the manufacturer. --- Materials and Construction Frame: Polished, unprotected copper with warm golden-rose tone, develops a natural patina over time.
