Crafted by Danish writer, designer, and architect Poul Henningsen (1894-1967), the PH 5 Pendant Light captures the essence of the golden hour. Henningsen's innovative design, created in 1958, anticipated the ever-changing shapes and sizes of incandescent bulbs and aimed to eliminate glare. This resulted in a versatile and stunning lamp that could accommodate any bulb.
Originally called the PH lamp in Denmark, it quickly gained popularity in both public buildings and private homes. The iconic design is based on Henningsen's renowned three-shade system, which emits both downward and lateral light for a soft, rich, and completely glare-free illumination. The PH 5 remains a beloved and sought-after design, offering a range of hues and shapes to create characteristic lighting in any living space.

Light Concept
The fixture provides a comfortable, glare-free light based on the principle of Poul Henningsen’s reflective three-shade system, which directs the majority of the light downward. It emits a lateral light as well as illuminating itself, providing a soft radiance from within its core. The lower shade is fitted with a frosted-glass diffuser to ensure that the downwardly directed light is 100% glare-free.
