Originally designed in 1958, its design is still based on Henningsen’s celebrated three-shade system which allows it to direct the majority of its light downwards. This makes 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 Mini pendant is the epitome of refinement. Place it any modern or contemporary home - its diminuitive size makes it an especially attractive reading light over an armchair or bedside. Designed by Poul Henningsen. Manufactured by Louis Poulsen. The pendant emits a non-glaring downward directed light, while also illuminating its own frame thus creating a soft, comfortable radiance from within the centre of the pendant. Poul Henningsen designed the PH 5 in 1958 as a counter-reaction to the bulb manufacturer’s many alterations to the shape and size of incandescent bulbs at the time, which Henningsen found to be completely senseless. The Louis Poulsen PH 5 lamp is so popular that the Louis Poulsen PH 5 mini hanging lamp was released in 2017. The PH 5 is a true classic! The lamp is made of aluminum and has a size of 30x16.3x30cm. Available in different colours.
