Lighting Designer

Poul Henningsen

about

Another giant of mid-century Danish design, Poul Henningsen (1894-1967) worked primarily in lighting design. In his work he consistently sought a soft glow of light from his various lamps and pendants. Though he designed over 100 of them throughout his career, he is perhaps best known for that classic pendant, the Artichoke.
