Mid-century modern scandinavian pendant lamp ph 5 mini copper by poul henningsen for louis poulsen. New product. Poul henningsen developed the ph 5 in 1958 in response to constant changes to the shape and size of incandescent bulbs by bulb manufacturers. The fixture was christened ph 5 due to the 50 cm diameter of the main shade. Poul henningsen wanted to improve the colour reproduction characteristics of the light source in the ph 5. To celebrate the 60th anniversary in 2018 of this beloved pendant, louis poulsen released the ph 5 in an edition that pairs copper shades and white tiers – and in 2019 with brass shades. The new metallic-and-white combination highlights henningsen’s shade system design and adds new dynamism to one of his most recognised forms, with the mirror-like metal tiers reflecting their surroundings. The metal shades a untreated and will patinate over time. Light source: e27. Canopy included. year 1958 dimensions h : 16,3 cm. Ø 30 cm. Cable length : 3 m.
