PH Artichoke Pendant Light
Classic
Price starting from € 10.300,00*
*Price valid for the classic version in ø 48 cm in copper finishing – bulb excluded (cod. 5741111978).
Created by Poul Henningsen, PH Artichoke is one of the design classics, as well as one of the proven masterpieces of the genre. The strength of this lamp is given by the presence of 72 leaves distributed in 12 rows that create a "pine cone", "fountain" and more, depending on the viewer's imagination. Thanks to its particular design, the light source of the lamp is not visible, but can be glimpsed among the various sheets, thus making it particularly pleasant and modulated. Originally created for a Copenhagen restaurant, over time it has become a cornerstone of the sector, standing out in different environments and heterogeneous situations.

Louis Poulsen was born in 1874 with the idea of producing luminous furniture strongly inspired by the tradition of Scandinavian design. A clear and functional trait has therefore inspired the origin of numerous pieces made so that each is able to reflect and support the rhythm of natural light. Every single detail of the Louis Poulsen collections follows a specific purpose and nothing is ever exclusively aesthetic, design and more. A deep bond with craftsmanship makes each piece unique, created almost tailor-made by the hand that orchestrates the final details, orienting a serial production towards the creation of almost unique and impossible to replicate pieces.Read more
Designed by
Poul Henningsen
The Danish Poul Hennigsen (1894-1967) was the most important lamp designer in the history of Scandinavian design. His pioneering activity in the field of lighting began in the late 10s, when the interest aroused in him by the diffusion of electricity in Danish cities convinced him to abandon his architectural studies to devote himself to the design of lighting fixtures, starting a long research that will culminate in 1926 with the putting into production of its first series of PH lamps by the Louis Poulsen company, which immediately became a bestseller throughout Europe, which still constitute the heart of the brand's production today. That of light designer will be an activity that will accompany him throughout his life, with over one hundred models of lamps designed in about fifty years of career, all inspired by the same basic concept: Henningsen loved working on diffusers of great engineering complexity, based on precise mathematical proportions, capable at the same time of avoiding spreading light in the environment in the most functional way and of revealing themselves to be aesthetically very satisfying. This commitment was accompanied by the second great passion of his life, that of journalism and politics, faced by rigorously progressive positions that forced him to live in exile in Sweden at the time of the Nazi occupation. Through the magazines he directed, Henningsen carried on a solid polemic against the artistic ambitions of contemporary Scandinavian design, which according to him distanced it from the possibility of being truly useful for the popular masses. During his career he also designed various furnishings, now re-proposed by the PH Furniture brand, among which the iconic Snake Chair stands out.
