Design & Story
Largest model of 1/1 pendant chandelier ever designed by Poul Henningsen. including impressive 21 arms with individual pendants.
“””These larger chandeliers was in 1930s too big for private residence, so this specific lamp was made for larger spaces, such as public library’s, conference room, theaters or just hight ceiling rooms in general.
But with todays homes with higher ceilings and move space in dining / living room areas this would fit perfecty with not only by being a lamp, but a conversation starter. With nearly 100 years old, if this lamp could talk, it would definitely have a lot of stories to tell.
Three-story bombardment chandelier made of brass was catalogued from 1933 and made in models from 3 all the way to 21 lampshade sets size 1/1.
