Poul Henningsen (1894 – 1967)

Danish author, architect and critic, was one of the leading figures of the cultural life of Denmark between the World Wars. In Denmark, he is often referred to as PH. His most valuable invention was the so-called PH-lamp (constructed 1925), a simple lamp which used the breakings of light. It created the economic foundation of his later work.

In many ways Poul Henningsen is the man who completed the work of Georg Brandes. He is somewhat superficial and light but more modern and less elitist in his views. Being a tease and a provoker who often tried turning concepts upside down (like George Bernard Shaw) and whose conclusions might be both somewhat unjust and exaggerated, he was however a man of firm principles and ideals of a democratic, natural and tolerant society.
