A symbol of iconic Danish design, the PH 5 is renowned for its innovative five-tier system, beautifully shaping and dispersing light to create a glare-free, natural lighting atmosphere. Available in a striking black finish, the black and white shades work together to create a defining aesthetic of contrast and balance. The mini pendant can act as a subtle, stylish statement piece in a home space, perfect for hanging low over a dining or coffee table. The PH 5 Mini Black Pendant Light is also available in a larger version.
Poul Henningsen is an integral figure in lighting design and architecture, whose revolutionary views on the utilisation of light in the home led to a number of ground-breaking designs.
Collaborating with Louis Poulsen in 1924/25, Henningsen produced the first version of the seminal PH multi-shade lamp, a classic piece of modern lighting design, featuring separate elements which are shaped and assembled in such a way that the bulb is covered and light is directed downward, creating a soft, diffused effect.
Henningsen was aware of the importance of light in urban life, but sought a way to subdue the harshness of electric light while harnessing its mood-altering properties, believing that the aesthetic of an interior is highly dependent on how light is used.
