The PH5 pendant, an iconic lighting design from the 20th century, was originally designed in 1958 by Denmark’s prestigious lighting manufacturer, Louis Poulsen. Based on Henningsen’s celebrated three-shade system, the PH5 Pendant directs the majority of its light downwards, ensuring glare-free illumination and creating a sculptural effect. This clever design features four shades crafted from powder-coated spun aluminium in various eye-catching hues, accented by rolled aluminium struts in a bronze finish. Complemented by a coordinating white ceiling rose and textile cord, the PH5 Pendant light epitomizes refinement, making it ideal for any modern or contemporary home. Designed by Poul Henningson, the PH5 is Louis Poulsen's best-selling pendant light, available in a beautiful array of contemporary colour combinations. Henningson created the now-iconic PH 5 out of his dislike for the harsh, unflattering lightbulbs of the time. He meticulously designed the 5 shades that make up the pendant to work together to diffuse and cast light evenly, creating a pleasant, glare-free ambiance. The Louis Poulsen PH 5 hanging lamp is extremely popular and an eye-catcher. The lamp is made of aluminum and measures 50x26.7x50cm.
