About the designer:

Poul Henningsen (1894-1967) was a famous Danish designer who studied at the Technical School at Frederiksberg, Denmark, from 1911 to 1914, and then at the Technical College in Copenhagen from 1914 to 1917. He started practicing traditional functionalist architecture, but over the years his professional interests changed to focus mainly on lighting which is what he became famous for.
