Five interesting facts about the Louis Poulsen PH5 Pendant Light

1. Designed to eliminate glare
   The PH5 Pendant Light was designed in 1958 by Danish designer Poul Henningsen, who was deeply concerned with how artificial light affected people’s comfort. His goal was to create a pendant that provided soft, even illumination without ever exposing the bulb directly to the eye — and he succeeded brilliantly.

2. The name has a hidden meaning
   The “PH” stands for Poul Henningsen, and the “5” refers to the 50-centimetre diameter of the main shade. This naming convention is typical of Henningsen’s analytical, engineering-minded approach to lighting design.

3. A scientifically designed shade system
   The Louis Poulsen PH5 pendant light uses a three-shade system (sometimes expanded with smaller inner reflectors) to diffuse light evenly. Each shade is precisely angled to reflect and soften light, creating a warm, glare-free glow that’s ideal for dining areas.

4. Continuously evolving colours
   Since its launch, the PH5 has been reissued in a range of new finishes. Louis Poulsen frequently collaborates with colour experts to create contemporary palettes that highlight the lamp’s sculptural form — from classic white to soft pastels and bold two-tone versions.

5. A true Danish design icon
   More than six decades after its debut, the Louis Poulsen PH5 pendant light remains one of Denmark’s most beloved lamps. It’s found in homes, cafés, and museums worldwide — a timeless embodiment of functional beauty and Henningsen’s enduring philosophy: that light should serve both people and atmosphere
