"Designed by Poul Henningsen, the ""PH"" pendant was shown for the first time at the Copenhagen Art & Design museum in 1958. A real Scandinavian design icon, it is one of the best-selling ceiling lights in Denmark. In search of the "perfect light", Poul Henningsen designed the "PH" collection of lights to get as close as possible to natural light. These lamps surrounded by metal shades which play the role of reflectors, guarantee a diffuse, gentle light with no glare. These ceiling lights ensure an extremely comfortable and efficient diffusion of the light, mainly directed downwards, but which also leaves from the sides in a more subdued form. Due to its design, it is impossible to directly see the light source, which means there is absolutely no glare. It can be hung quite low above a dining table, or in the middle of the room in a higher position. It can be equipped with powerful light power all the while remaining comfortable on the eye. This pendant is made up of three spherical shades mounted on a cone. The white and cooper shades with a mat finish are linked by white coloured columns. A copper diffuser-disk located inside the structure improves the rendering of the colours from the light source. Its role is to dim the yellow/green part of the light spectrum to which the eye is more sensitive while making it perfectly aesthetically pleasing. This pendant with a vintage style still appeals to design fans all over the world today. This pendant is available in glossy lacquered colours (PH 50) or mat colours (PH 5)."
