Poul Henningsen designed the three-shade system in 1925–1926. Together with Louis Poulsen, PH designed the first lamps using this system for an exhibition in Paris. He continued to work with Louis Poulsen until his death in 1967. Throughout his life, PH sought to create direct, glare-free lighting where it was most needed. He also used incandescent bulbs as a light source to create soft shadows. The PH 4/3 Metal Suspension Lamp was created in 1966. Its design follows the general three-shade system, based on the lituus curve, with the axis of the light source located in the center of the curve. It is a simplified version of the lamp PH designed in 1929. Thanks to this light, he achieved the highest award at the World's Fair in Barcelona at the time. The metal suspension lamps were produced in various formats and colors. The underside of the shade was painted white to create a diffused light. To achieve warmer lighting, metal pendant lamps were once also available with a gold underside. Over the years, metal pendant lamps have been offered in a range of sizes and colors.
