Louis Poulsen PH 80 Portable Lamp
The PH family of lamps, first introduced in 1925, was the first to be inspired by a scientific approach to lighting, using the logarithmic spiral as the foundation for achieving an even distribution of light across the entire curve of the shade. This careful light distribution, combined with the diffuse reflection through the glass, allows for effective control of both glare and shadow, creating a pleasant and balanced lighting environment. Each shade within the PH family is designed to reduce the amount of light evenly based on its distance from the light source, ensuring a smooth and gradual transition of light from the lamp. This approach enhances both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the lamps.

Louis Poulsen: PH 5, Artichoke, Panthella, AJ and the Science of Glare-Free Light
Louis Poulsen has produced functional lighting in Denmark since 1874. The company's design direction was set in 1924 by Poul Henningsen, whose PH system was built on one principle: the light source must never be directly visible. Every shade and reflector in the PH family exists to eliminate glare while delivering even, comfortable light. The collection extends to Arne Jacobsen's AJ series (1957), Verner Panton's Panthella (1971), and Oki Sato's NJP task lamps (2015).
