White PH5 pendant lamp by Poul Henningsen for Louis Poulsen, Denmark 1970/80s

White PH5 is one of the most famous pendant lamp from Denmark, designed by architect Poul Henningsen for the lighting manufacturer Louis Poulsen. The PH5 was first introduced in 1958 and has since become an iconic piece of mid-century modern design. The purpose of the PH5 design was to provide glare-free lighting, achieved by the lampshade with several concentric shades working together to diffuse the light and prevent any harsh glare. The lamp also features a curved, trumpet-shaped reflector, which directs light downwards, creating a soft, warm glow. Over the years, Louis Poulsen has produced the PH5 in various colors, the most famous in white and in the later edition blue, red, and orange. The presented one is white and has blue and red plates and violet details of the construction. Comes most likely from the 1970s-80s. Overall, very good vintage original condition without any significant scratches or dents. Original wiring with 130 cm cord, and can be adjusted to your needs. The manufacturer’s label preserved. The PH5 is still in production today and remains a versatile lighting option that can fit in a range of interior designs- both residential and commercial.
