ABOUT PRODUCTID 8521
The PH 5 pendant lamp, designed by Poul Henningsen for Louis Poulsen in Denmark in 1958, stands as an icon of Scandinavian modernism. Its construction features a series of concentric, curved metal shades in a matte lavender violet finish, layered harmoniously around the light source. The inner surfaces are white, enhancing the lamp's ability to diffuse light evenly and eliminate glare. Measuring 50 cm in diameter and 27.6 cm in height, the lamp is suspended from a black, fabric-covered cord with a new metal ceiling rose. Notable details include its balanced proportions, geometric silhouette, and precise metal connectors between the shades. Condition: good, with minor signs of use on the lacquer, consistent with its age.PH 5 speaks to the spirit of late 1950s and 1960s Denmark, where everyday aesthetics met practical innovation. The lamp seems to engage in a quiet dialogue with light—its layered shades guiding a gentle glow downward and outward, while the violet finish subtly tempers the ambience. The construction reveals Henningsen's intent: to create an environment free from harsh contrasts, where light settles smoothly over tables and walls, softening the room rather than dominating it.This pendant lamp would suit placement above a dining table or as a focal point in a living room, where its diffused illumination highlights the textures of wood or minimalist surfaces. It can be paired effectively with mid-century modern interiors, Scandinavian restraint, or contemporary eclectic spaces—working well with simple wooden furniture, graphite accents, or organically shaped upholstered chairs. It may also be combined with pastel details or geometric textiles to emphasize its timeless simplicity.The lamp comes with a
