Louis Poulsen PH 80 creates unique lighting effects.

Like a series of nested bowls that harmonise to form a flower-like appearance, the Louis Poulsen PH 80 floor light is sure to delight the senses.

The design may be inspired by nature, but mathematical logarithms were used to create the series of acrylic lampshades that nest within one another to make the unique impression that the Louis Poulsen PH 80 provides. Due to this unusual formation, the light is focussed primarily downwards as zone lighting towards the floor, while some diffused light is allowed to escape from the sides to illuminate the room. However, the PH floor lamp is designed so that one cannot look directly into the light source, effectively preventing uncomfortable glare. The diffusor at the top of the Louis Poulsen PH 80 is painted red on the underside, which creates a warm and relaxing illumination in which to gather.

The striking design details make the Louis Poulsen PH 80 a conversation piece in both residential and commercial locations. This lamp provides a wonderfully inviting light for dining areas and living rooms, where it can also serve as a reading light. In addition to brightening dark hallways, the PH 80 floor light makes a fantastic addition to bedrooms, where its soft lighting qualities are appreciated. The zone lighting effect, which is primarily directed downwards, allows the Louis Poulsen PH 80 to brighten up the surrounding space and make it appear larger and more spacious.
