Poul Henningsen was born in Copenhagen to the famous Danish actress Agnes Henningsen. He never graduated as an architect, but studied at The Technical School at Frederiksberg, Denmark from 1911-14 and then at Technical College in Copenhagen from 1914-17.He started practicing traditional functionalistic architecture, but over the years his professional interests changed to focus mainly on lighting which is what he is most famous for. He also expanded his field of occupation into areas of writing, becoming a journalist and an author.His lifelong collaboration with Louis Poulsen Lighting began in 1925 and lasted until his death. To this day, Louis Poulsen Lighting still benefits from his genius. Poul Henningsen's pioneering work concerning the relations between light structures, shadows, glare, and color reproduction - compared to man's need for light remains the foundation of the lighting theories still practiced by Louis Poulsen Lighting. The Wohlert Pendant provides uniform and general diffused illumination. The opening at the bottom of the glass produces direct light. The quality of the glass ensures that the visual appearance of the Wohlert Pendant has an evenly lit surface. The three varying size options are great for different rooms throughout your home, office or commercial spaces.
