PH 5/5 pendant, black metal

The PH 5/5 pendant from Louis Poulsen is part of Poul Henningsen's legendary lighting family that features an innovative three-shade system developed by Henningsen in the 1920s. The three shades form a sculptural lamp that provides a pleasant, glare-free light and brings timeless elegance to any space.

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

The PH 5/5 pendant's base and shades have been painted matt black for a modern, sophisticated look. The inside of the shades are white and reflect a soft, mostly downward-directed light, and the luminaire's gentle glow can be made even softer with the frosted glass diffuser included in the package.

Poul Henningsen

Louis Poulsen is a Danish lighting manufacturer with a legacy dating back to 1874. Renowned for its fusion of architectural thinking and soft, human-centric light, the brand’s design philosophy is rooted in the idea that form follows function – or more precisely, that form follows light. The result is a collection of timeless luminaires celebrated for their enduring beauty, quality and usability.

Iconic models such as Poul Henningsen’s PH 5, Arne Jacobsen’s AJ series and Verner Panton’s Panthella have become integral to the very essence of Nordic design.
