Louis Poulsen - PH 5 pendant, matte white - pale rose

LOUIS POULSEN PH 5 PENDANT LAMP.

Design by Poul Henningsen

A Danish design icon that has gained immense global popularity.

Poul Henningsen developed the PH 5 in 1958 in response to constant changes in the shape and size of light bulbs, creating a lamp that could be used with any light source. The iconic design is based on the same principles as Henningsen's three-shade system, which ensures that the light is soft, pleasant and completely glare-free.

This makes it the perfect pendant lamp for the dining room. Originally the PH 5 was fitted with red and blue lampshades to improve the color of the light. However, in later designs they have been removed as modern light sources reproduce daylight much more effectively than in 1958.

The PH 5 is available in a number of different color variants and is a beloved and well-known pendant lamp, found in many homes around the world. This anniversary edition is painted matte white on the outside with soft pink on the inside, which provides a soft, warm light, while the metalized brass supports add a nice touch .
