Description
Poul Henningsen developed the PH 5 in 1958 as a follow-up to his celebrated three-shade system, which launched in 1926 and put Louis Poulsen on the map as a leading manufacturer of innovative lighting.
Henningsen’s goal: to make light softer and more flattering in an era when electric lighting was still new and marked by unwanted glare.
Six decades after the lighting pioneer created his celebrated PH 5 pendant, the design remains Louis Poulsen’s bestseller.
To celebrate the PH 5’s anniversary, Louis Poulsen has released the lamp in the same vibrant colour range as the recently launched PH 5 Mini: Classic, a new Modern White, and six bold colour combinations – Hues of Orange, Hues of Rose, Hues of Red, Hues of Green, Hues of Blue and Hues of Grey.
The PH 5’s five-shade system infuses spaces with 100% glare-free, even illumination. A lightbulb produces the ideal combination of downward and lateral light to gently illuminate the surroundings and the fixture itself. Interior anti-glare rings and reflectors ensure a warm light tone that complements the daily rhythm of natural light.
True to the multi-talented Henningsen’s signature balance of function and form – of technology and art, in other words – the PH 5 serves as a beautiful sculptural element both when it is on and off.
Its impact is enhanced by the bold new colour options, and the top-to-bottom graduations from dark to light within each colour variant.
