Louispoulsen Ph Artichoke Pendant Light
PH ARTICHOKE PENDANT LIGHT
PH ARTICHOKE PENDANT LIGHT
Designed By Poul Henningsen
In 1958, Poul Henningsen designed the PH Artichoke for the Langelinie Pavilion, a modernist Copenhagen restaurant, in which the PH Artichoke continues to enchant guests to this day, where the pendant is regarded as an international design icon.
The distinctive shape and design of the pendant ensures a completely glare-free light no matter from which angle it is viewed. This is due to the 72 carefully placed leaves that have also inspired the name of the pendant.
Today, the PH Artichoke is still partly assembled by hand to ensure high quality. And yes it is true that it takes up a lot of space. However, the quality of light and the sheer elegance is truly unparalleled. The famous luminaire is still available in its original copper finish.
Over time, versions in brushed and polished steel, brass and white metal have been added, and these continue to emphasise the versatility and timeless silhouette of the pendant. The PH Artichoke Black is introduced in 2020. With a perfect matt black finish, this version consolidates a bold look for an edgier interior without compromising on either design or quality of light.
DESIGNER
POUL HENNINGSEN
The highly influential Danish designer, architect, writer, and cultural critic, Poul Henningsen (1894-1967), has had a huge impact on Danish thinking and design.
His legacy as the original master of light is an integrated part of Louis Poulsen’s heritage of creating exceptional light.
Poul Henningsen, born in Copenhagen in 1894, was the son of the Danish writers Agnes Henningsen and Carl Ewald. He started practicing traditional functionalist architecture, but over the years his professional interests shifted to primarily focus on lighting, for which he is most famous. He also expanded his field of occupation into areas of writing, becoming a journalist and an author.
For a short period at the beginning of WWII, Henningsen was the head architect of the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. But like many other creative people, he was forced to flee Denmark during the German occupation, and soon became a vital part of the Danish colony of artists living in Sweden.
His lifelong collaboration with Louis Poulsen began in 1924 and lasted until his passing. To this day, Louis Poulsen still benefits from his genius and continues his heritage working to provide exceptional, glare-free light.
In fact, Poul Henningsen's pioneering work concerning the relationship between light, shadows, glare, and color reproduction - compared to man’s need for light laid the foundation of the lighting philosophy still practiced by Louis Poulsen.
Poul Henningsen was also the first editor of the company magazine ‘NYT’. The CEO of Louis Poulsen at the time, Sophus Kaastrup-Olsen, gave the magazine to Henningsen as a gift because he had been terminated from the Danish newspaper he worked for, because his opinions were too radical.

LIGHT CONCEPT
The pendant illuminates any space with a 100% glare-free light due to the 72 leaves, which form 12 precisely positioned rows that hold six leaves each. The fixture ensures the light is distributed inwards as well as outwards, thereby emitting a beautiful and comfortable light. Moreover, the high quality of light is maintained in the energy efficient LED variant that creates the same renowned atmosphere around the pendant.
