PH 5, Pendant Light, Anniversary Edition
Description
Poul Henningsen developed the PH 5 in 1958 in response to constant changes in the shape and size of incandescent bulbs, creating a lamp that could be used with any light source.The iconic design is based on the same principles as Henningsen’s three-shade system, which ensures that the light is soft, pleasant and completely glare-free, making it the perfect dining room table lamp.Originally, the PH 5 was fitted with red and blue shades to improve the colour of the light, however these have been removed in later designs as modern light sources reproduce daylight much more effectively than they did in 1958.Available in a number of different colour variations, the PH 5 is a much-loved and well-known pendant, that is found in many homes around the world.
This anniversary edition is painted matte white on the outside, with pale rose on the inside, which provides a soft, warm light, while the supports made of metallised brass add a beautiful touch.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Poul Henningsen
Poul Henningsen was born in Copenhagen by the famous Danish writer Agnes Henningsen. He never graduated as an architect, but studied at The Technical School at Frederiksberg, Denmark from 1911-14, and then at Technical College in Copenhagen from 1914-17. He started practicing traditional functionalistic architecture, but over the years his professional interests changed to focus mainly on lighting which is what he is most famous for.
