PH 5 continues to elevate even the most modern interiors in a range of colours today. In 2020, the PH 5 Monochrome series is introduced to emphasize this striking design for a more current look. The mat painted metal shades come in black, white, and in ultra blue for the bolder decorator. 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 Monochrome Pendant Light in White is designed for those seeking a timeless and elegant lighting solution.

This guide provides detailed information on the features, setup, and care of the PH 5, ensuring you can enjoy its beautiful light for years to come.
