Design & Story
PH kino lamp is a very unique wall lamp made for cinema Silkeborg in Denmark in 1949, this is 1 out of only 8 ever made. With a design shaped like a buket with 5 flowers, this is something that stands out next to Poul Henningsens other designs.
This pieces is probably one of the very few lamps that can be guaranteed POUL HENNINGSEN himself had in hand. - a piece of history and a real collectors item.
