The PH "Kontrast" lamp has been out of production for over 30 plus years. Originally designed around 1958 this lamp took 130 steps to complete and because of the complexity and cost to manufacture it Louis Poulsen ceased production, this a 1960s model. Constructed of aluminum painted white with the underside polished to a sheen, the interiors of the shades are painted orange/red and blue. A sliding bar mechanism at the top of the lamp that the cord goes into allows the bulb to move up and down the lamp creating different light values, hence the name "Kontrast". A beautiful design that is both sculpture and great lighting by one of the Masters of lighting design from the 20th Century. Dimensions: Height: 15 in (38.1 cm) Diameter: 17 in (43.18 cm)

Good Wear consistent with age and use. Patina to the finish, some very slight wear on some of the edges of the shades in very small areas.
