Elegantly diffusing light downwards as well as illuminating itself, the curvaceous, sculptural structure creates an eye-catching pendant that looks stunning when hanging low in a dining or lounge space. Creating a comfortable, glare-free ambience, the brass shade has been carefully polished to create a striking, mirrored surface, acting as a defining centrepiece in interior spaces both small and large.
The PH 5 Brass is also available in a mini version, part of the Louis Poulsen PH 5 family.
Poul Henningsen is an integral figure in lighting design and architecture, whose revolutionary views on the utilisation of light in the home led to a number of ground-breaking designs.
Collaborating with Louis Poulsen in 1924/25, Henningsen produced the first version of the seminal PH multi-shade lamp, a classic piece of modern lighting design, featuring separate elements which are shaped and assembled in such a way that the bulb is covered and light is directed downward, creating a soft, diffused effect.
Henningsen was aware of the importance of light in urban life, but sought a way to subdue the harshness of electric light while harnessing its mood-altering properties, believing that the aesthetic of an interior is highly dependent on how light is used.
