Louis Poulsen - PH 5 / 5 Pendant, Black Metal - Opal Glass

Louis Poulsen PH 5/5 Black / Opal Glass.

A true Danish design icon that has become extremely popular worldwide.

This design classic is now a valuable addition to your interior. In Denmark, even one in two households is equipped with a Louis Poulsen PH5.

PH 5/5 is one of the lesser known designs in the series, a so-called full size lamp. These designs have shades with a ratio of approximately 3:2:1, making them appear rounder than many of the other designs in the collection. The full-size luminaires are particularly glare-free and therefore ideally placed upwards in a room.

The base and top shade of the PH 5/5 pendant are painted matte black for a modern, sophisticated look, while the two lower shades are made of mouth-blown opal glass. By combining these very different materials, the luminaire emits a warm, soft glow that can be made even softer with the frosted glass diffuser included in the package.

Diameter: 50 cm. / Height: 43 cm.
Lamp base: E27

About the designer: Poul Henningsen.

Poul Henningsen (1894-1967) was a famous Danish designer who studied at the Technical School at Frederiksberg, Denmark, from 1911 to 1914, and then at the Technical College in Copenhagen from 1914 to 1917. He started practicing traditional functionalist architecture, but over the years his professional interests changed to focus mainly on lighting which is what he became famous for.
