PH 5 Mini

Description

The PH 5 fixture offers 100% glare-free light through its reflective three-shade system, directing light downward while providing lateral illumination. Poul Henningsen designed it to accommodate various light sources, addressing his skepticism about bulb manufacturers' understanding of consumer needs.

In 2017, Louis Poulsen introduced the PH 5 Mini with a 30 cm top shade, resizing the iconic pendant for modern interiors. In 2020, the PH 5 Mini Monochrome series launched, featuring matte metal shades in black, white, and ultra blue, adding a contemporary aesthetic to the classic design.

Designer

Poul Henningsen, 1925-1926

The very influential Danish designer, architect, writer, and cultural critic, Poul Henningsen (1894-1967), has had a huge impact on Danish thinking and design. His legacy is an integrated part of Louis Poulsen’s endeavor to shape light.

Poul Henningsen was born in Copenhagen in 1894 as the son of the Danish writers Agnes Henningsen and Carl Ewald. He started practicing traditional functionalist architecture, but over the years his professional interests changed to focus mainly on lighting, which is what he is most famous for.
