A true Danish design icon; the 'PH5' pendant lamp designed by Poul Henningsen in 1958 and manufactured by Louis Poulsen. The model name contains the initials of the designer (PH) as well as a reference to the diameter (50 cm)
 
This lamp, which only won an iF Design award in 1971, is based on the principle of a reflective multiple screen system, which creates a harmonious and 100% glare-free illumination. 
 
The lamp is in beautiful vintage condition with minimal signs of wear. The manufacturer's sticker is present inside as a sign of authenticity.
 
Poul Henningsen was a Danish writer, critic, architect and designer. He is often referred to as the first true light architect because he dedicated a large part of his life to exploring the importance of light for well-being. He focused on creating lamps that produced glare-free lighting. His most famous lamp models are the PH Artichoke, the PH 5 and the PH Contrast lamp.
