Description
Designed by Poul Henningsen, the PH pendant was shown for the first time at the Copenhagen Art & Design Museum in 1958. A real Scandinavian design icon, it is one of the best-selling pendants in Denmark. In search of the "perfect light", Poul Henningsen designed the "PH" collection of lights to get as close as possible to natural light. These lamps surrounded by metal shades, which play the role of reflectors, guarantee a diffuse, gentle light with no glare. These pendants ensure an extremely comfortable and efficient diffusion of the light, mainly directed downwards, but which also leaves from the sides in a more subdued form. Due to its design, it is impossible to directly see the light source, which means there is absolutely no glare. It can be hung quite low above a dining table, or in the middle of the room in a higher position. It can be equipped with powerful light power all the while remaining comfortable on the eye. This pendant is made up of three spherical lampshades mounted on a cone. The lampshades are connected by white metal rods. This pendant with its vintage style still appeals to design fans all over the world today.
Our Stylist Says
I love the PH 5 pendant for its timeless design and versatile silhouette, making it a standout piece in both contemporary and vintage-inspired interiors. Its classic white finish keeps it feeling fresh and modern, while the layered form ensures a soft, evenly distributed light that works well over dining tables, kitchen islands, or in minimalist living rooms. When styling, consider pairing it with neutral palettes for a clean aesthetic, or combine with bold colours for a modern touch. Practical tips include hanging it at varying heights to create visual interest or grouping multiple pendants for an impactful lighting feature. Its understated elegance adapts seamlessly to both residential and commercial spaces, adding a sophisticated yet functional element to any ceiling.
