Poul Henningsen designed hundreds of lamps based on the three-shade-system he developed in 1926, enabling unequalled lighting quality for all types of needs. Many of his lamp designs include a number that refers to the shade sizes of each particular fixture.
The PH 5/5 is described as a ‘whole’ sized pendant, characterised by its appealing compact semblance with the top shade of approximately 50cm corresponding with the middle and lower shade in the proportions of 3:2:1. PH’s ‘whole’ sized fixtures are designed to be particularly glare-free and are therefore ideally placed high in a room, where it integrates great quality lighting with cosy ambience.
The light characteristic of Poul Henningsen’s ‘whole’ sized PH 5/5 lifts contemporary interiors with its own special ray of elegant, modern Danish classic in any sizeable room at home, or by taking high-ceilinged commercial spaces like flagship stores, meeting rooms, restaurants, hotel rooms and lobbies, to new heights.
