THE STORY BEHIND THE POUL HENNINGSEN PH 5 PENDANT LAMP
Believing that light quality had a big impact on people's lives, Poul Henningsen began designing his ground-breaking PH Lamps series in 1925, with the idea of making lamps that softened the harsh, direct glare of bare electrical lights.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Poul Henningsen
1894-1967 (Denmark)
Often said to be the first lighting architect, Danish designer, Poul Henningsen devoted much of his life to exploring the importance of light for well-being. Believing people should not be subject to the direct glare of an electrical light source, he focused on creating lamps that produced glare-free illumination. His self-titled PH series was his most famous collection and included the PH 3/2 Table Lamp, the PH Artichoke, the PH5 and PH 3½ - 2½ Floor Lamp.
