Design story

Designed by Poul Henningsen for Louis Poulsen, the PH 5 pendant lamp is one of the most celebrated icons of Danish lighting design. Introduced in 1958, the PH 5 was created to provide comfortable, glare-free illumination regardless of the light source, a principle that remains just as relevant today.

This striking example features a beautiful red finish that enhances the sculptural quality of Henningsen’s innovative multi-shade design. The layered shades diffuse light softly while creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere, making the lamp an ideal centrepiece above a dining table, kitchen island, or living space.

Combining timeless Scandinavian design with exceptional functionality, the PH 5 remains a design classic that effortlessly elevates both contemporary and vintage interiors.
