Louis Poulsen PH 80 Portable lamp

PH 80 Portable Table Lamp | Louis Poulsen

The PH 80 Portable by Louis Poulsen is a refined, compact interpretation of the iconic PH 80 floor lamp.
Its elegant proportions and cordless functionality make it ideal for contemporary living spaces, where it offers a warm, diffused glow.
Placed on a sideboard, bedside table, terrace table, or console, the lamp adds a subtle yet striking design accent—indoors and outdoors.

A Tribute to Poul Henningsen

Originally introduced in 1974 to celebrate what would have been Poul Henningsen’s 80th birthday, the PH 80 honours the master of light.
This portable version follows Henningsen’s classic three‑shade system, engineered to create glare‑free illumination that is both functional and atmospheric.
The characteristic top shade—historically produced in black with a red underside—softens the light and adds a timeless, elegant finishing touch.
