Lavender PH5 lamp, P. Henningsen for L. Poulsen, vintage 1960s

An icon of Danish design in a beautiful lavender finish. The PH5 lamp, designed by P. Henningsen in 1958 for Louis Poulsen, from the 1960s-70s. Its remarkable form impresses with the lightness of the design—no wonder it became an icon of lighting design. The lamp is based on the principle of a reflective system of four shades, which directs light not only downwards but also to the sides, thus illuminating the lamp itself. A characteristic feature of Henningsen's lamps is the gentle, diffused light directed downwards—non-dazzling to the viewer, also allowing the lamp to be admired from every perspective. The model is equipped with a diffuser that softens the light from below. Dating: 1960s-70s. Condition: Vintage (used) very good, minimal signs of age. Cord length approx. 200 cm.
