Pendant light in black aluminium PH5 - Louis Poulsen

PH is quite simply the name given to this pendant light designed by Poul Henningsen. This piece of lighting is the fruit of the collaboration between the designer and the design house Louis Poulsen, which began in the mid-1920s and lasted until the end of his life in 1967. It was during this partnership that a design was conceived which would go on to become iconic and remains essential to this day: the logarithmic lampshade signed PH.

The concept rests on Poul Henningsen's determination to produce indirect, diffused light. He devised several superimposed lampshades curving downwards, each one reducing the luminous flux passing through it, to create a complex play of shadows that releases a soft, even ambient light. This is a unique design, one that propelled the collaboration to the forefront of the lighting world and led to the production of almost a thousand PH models over the years.

Available in several colours to give your light a customisable glow, the PH lighting, as a floor lamp or a pendant light, is today a perfect match for the most modern interiors and adds a touch of history to an avant-garde design. For a truly spectacular effect, mix up the sizes of the pendant lights with the miniaturised reinterpretation of this lamp: the PH5 Mini pendant light!
