Poul Henningsen Mirror Wall Lamp, Denmark, circa 1960s

An mirror wall lamp designed by Poul Henningsen, Denmark, dating from the circa 1960s.

This model features a circular mirror set within a deeply formed painted metal frame, designed to reflect and diffuse light indirectly. The concealed light source creates a soft halo effect around the mirror, exemplifying Henningsen’s pioneering approach to glare-free and atmospheric illumination.

Mirror lamps were part of Poul Henningsen’s more experimental lighting designs and were produced in, particularly during the 1960s. Early examples such as this differ noticeably from later, more standardized versions and are increasingly difficult to find.
