The glass version of PH Artichoke dates back to 1927-31 when Poul Henningsen designed a glass pendant named PH Septima, a pendant with seven glass shades which was manufactured by Louis Poulsen until 1940 when it was phased out due to lack of materials during the war.

Asked to design a fixture for the Langelinie Pavillonen restaurant in 1958, Poul Henningsen completed the assignment in three months as the PH Artichoke was based on the ideas behind PH Septima.The PH Artichoke divided the shades into 'picket fences' as Poul Henningsen called them, and it was made of copper.

PH Artichoke Glass, made of hand-made, sandblown glass, it has an expression similar to that of PH Septima. The soft light is diffused through the leaves to produce soft comfortable light.

Lit as well as unlit, the fixture leaves have an ice look that adds elegance and lightness to any room. The mounting of the leaves can only be done once the fitting is suspended from the ceiling and therefore specially trained staff from Louis Poulsen will assemble the light, which is included in the price.
