Louis Poulsen PH 5

Poul Hennignsen Poul Henningsen was born in Copenhagen to the famous Danish actress Agnes Henningsen. He never graduated as an architect, but studied at The Technical School at Frederiksberg, Denmark from 1911-14 and then at Technical College in Copenhagen from 1914-17.He started practicing traditional functionalistic architecture, but over the years his professional interests changed to focus mainly on lighting which is what he is most famous for. He also expanded his field of occupation into areas of writing, becoming a journalist and an author.His lifelong collaboration with Louis Poulsen Lighting began in 1925 and lasted until his death. To this day, Louis Poulsen Lighting still benefits from his genius. Poul Henningsen's pioneering work concerning the relations between light structures, shadows, glare, and color reproduction - compared to man's need for light remains the foundation of the lighting theories still practiced by Louis Poulsen Lighting. The PH 5 Pendant (1958) provides a glare free illumination and features a design of visible reflectors that ensures that light is directed both vertically and horizontally. The light is diffused through a sand-blasted glass shield located in the lower shade. This unique pendant is designed to hang low above a table and provide glare free light. The 3 white shades and cone are mounted on three purple legs. The two smaller colored shades enhance the part of the spectrum of light least sensitive to the eye. Designed by: Poul Hennignsen
