Louis Poulsen PH 1/1 Chandelier Centenary Edition

Manufacturer: Louis Poulsen | Designer: Poul Henningsen

A Revival Six Decades in the Making

The PH 1/1 Chandelier Centenary Edition revives one of Poul Henningsen's most ambitious designs - a piece that disappeared from the Louis Poulsen catalogue in the mid-1960s and has not been available since.

Originally known as the Bombardement Chandelier, it was first produced in 1933 as an application of System PH - Henningsen's geometrically precise approach to glare-free light - scaled up to chandelier form. Each arm carries a complete three-shade set in mouth-blown four-layered dusty terracotta glass, glossy outside and sandblasted matte within, softening the light while directing it downwards.

Structure as Statement

Curved arms connect to a central core, arranging the shade sets around the chandelier. In aged brass with fine hairlines, lacquered to preserve its finish, the structure reads as both a historical object and a contemporary centrepiece.

A Strictly Limited Release

This is a strictly limited release. The 9-arm edition is limited to 200 pieces worldwide. The 6-arm to 400. The 3-arm to 1,000. Each carries a unique number engraved in gold inside the socket housing, with a Centenary engraving on the suspension.
