Poul Henningsen (1894–1967) was a renowned Danish designer. He studied at the Technical School in Frederiksberg from 1911 to 1914 and continued his education at the Technical University of Copenhagen from 1914 to 1917. Henningsen began his career as an architect, but gradually shifted his focus to lighting and lamp design. Later in his life, he also worked as a journalist and writer.
Henningsen’s long-standing collaboration with Louis Poulsen began in 1925 and continued until his death. His ingenious lighting designs remain a cornerstone of Louis Poulsen’s collection to this day. He also served as the first editor of Louis Poulsen’s corporate magazine, NYT. Henningsen’s work explored the structure of light, shadow, reflection and colour rendering – themes that still influence the company’s design philosophy.
