Illuminated Reflections
Designed in 1939 by Poul Henningsen
Functional, practical and beautiful, the PH Mirror embodies everything PH believed to be important about his creations for interiors: it is a harmony of geometric shape and fluid lines, illumination and vivid colour. The PH Mirror appears as contemporary in the 21st Century as it did when it was first created: it is simply visionary design.

The Designer: Poul Henningsen
A common theme throughout Poul Henningsen’s life that can be observed from his very beginnings was his desire to design and craft items by hand. In his earliest years, Poul Henningsen’s zeal for ‘making things’ took the form of items made on a workbench he was gifted at the age of three. Later, his creativity manifested itself in paintings, before he trained as a carpenter and then as a stone-mason. These artisanal craft skills of two and three dimensional manufacture were all acquired prior to PH’s choice to study as an architect, giving him not just theoretical knowledge of design – but crucially, a deep interest and understanding in what would work in practice in home and building design.
