Based on Henningsen’s celebrated three-shade system, the PH5 Pendant directs the majority of its light downwards making its illumination entirely free from glare, while simultaneously creating a sculptural effect. A truly clever design, the lamp features four shades crafted from powder-coated spun aluminium in a range of eye-catching hues, and is accented by rolled aluminium struts in a bronze finish. Complemented by a coordinating white ceiling rose and textile cord, the PH5 Pendant light is the epitome of refinement. Place it any modern or contemporary home! Designed by Poul Henningsen. Manufactured by Louis Poulsen. The best-selling Louis Poulsen PH 5 Pendant Light, designed by Poul Henningson, is available in a beautiful array of contemporary colour combinations. Henningson created the now-iconic PH 5 out of his (and his mother’s!) dislike of the harsh, unflattering lightbulbs of the time. He meticulously designed the 5 shades that make up the pendant in order for them to work together to diffuse and cast light evenly, making for a pleasant, glare-free ambience. The Louis Poulsen PH 5 hanging lamp is extremely popular and we understand why! What an eye-catcher this classic by Louis Poulsen is. The lamp is made of aluminum and has a size of 50x26.7x50cm. Available in different colours.
The Louis Poulsen PH 5 Pendant Light, designed by Poul Henningsen, is a classic lighting solution perfect for anyone seeking glare-free, aesthetically pleasing illumination. Its unique multi-shade system directs light downwards, creating a warm, inviting ambiance. However, the initial setup may require careful attention to ensure proper alignment and achieve optimal lighting performance.
