ABOUT PRODUCTID 19051
The PH 5 pendant lamp, designed by Poul Henningsen for Louis Poulsen in the 1990s, embodies the essence of Scandinavian functional design. Its construction centers around layers of metal shades—arranged in soft, spiraling disks that compose the lamp’s iconic silhouette. The exterior surfaces are finished in a muted lavender-violet matte, while the innermost and uppermost shades remain pure matte white to ensure optimal light diffusion. The lamp hangs from a straight, black textile-covered cord, capped with a minimalist metal ceiling rose. Structural connections are discreetly concealed, demonstrating a precision and clarity that are hallmarks of Henningsen’s mid-century modern approach. The lamp’s well-balanced proportions and matte finish subdue reflections, accentuating its nuanced color palette. The lamp is preserved in very good vintage condition: no dents or damage, only faint, expected traces of previous use.This lamp echoes the mid-century pursuit of taming and softening light—PH 5 has, for decades, whispered that illumination can be gentle and atmospheric rather than overpowering. Its signature stacked shades diffuse the glow like Scandinavian mist rolling inland, lending a quiet subtlety to contemporary living. The lavender and white colorway, paired with the understated matte texture, still conjures a sense of a late-20th-century Copenhagen interior—contributing to the space with a discreet, elegant presence.It could be suspended above a dining table, where its gentle diffusion shapes the evening’s ambiance. The lamp pairs well with neutral or whitewashed walls and natural wood accents, creating a calm, orderly rhythm. It matches furniture with slender, modernist lines and soft, understated textiles. One might combine it with minimalist accessories or classic Danish design pieces to emphasize its timeless character and restrained charm.
