The Design PH5 by Poul Henningsen

The PH5 design by Poul Henningsen:
Poul Henningsen designed the luminaire in 1958 based on the principle of a reflective three-shade system that incorporates the
most of the light is directed downwards. His wish was to create a light that spreads light throughout the room but does not dazzle. He succeeded with the now produced by Louis Poulsen PH5 pendant lamp.

The luminaire emits light directed downwards and, thanks to the trumpet-shaped top screen, to the side, which causes the switched-on luminaire to illuminate the area around it as well as itself. In the classic PH5, a warm light color is achieved through the inner red cone and the small blue reflector.
