One star after another
At the beginning of the 1930s, the PH Septima
was introduced in a smaller size, and versions
came along with both thin pink glass and
amber-coloured glass. During the 1940s,
however, raw materials became scarce, and
the production of the PH Septima and many
other lamps were halted altogether. Even so,
while working on the PH Septima, Henningsen
designed a metal version of the pendant,
and although this version was never put into
production, it did lay the groundwork years
later for the highly acclaimed PH Artichoke.
Now, we once again get to enjoy a leading
light of the 1920s and Poul Henningsen’s
craftsmanship in design and lighting.
