Louis Poulsen PH 5 300 Pendant Light

Manufacturer: Louis Poulsen | Designer: Poul Henningsen

The PH 5, Reimagined for Smaller Spaces

The PH 5 300 applies Poul Henningsen's three-shade principle to a smaller scale introduced in 2017 as a contemporary resize of the iconic PH 5, with a top shade diameter of 300mm. Developed in the spirit of Henningsen's original 1958 design, the 300 brings the same glare-free quality to more compact spaces, and works equally well hung alone or grouped with the full-size PH5 500.

The Monochrome series followed in 2020, with a colour palette developed in collaboration with colour expert Louise Sass. Its single-colour shades emphasise the sculptural form of the three-shade system.

The three-shade system directs most of the light downwards, while a gentle lateral glow gives the pendant a soft radiance from within. A frosted glass diffuser beneath the lower shade shields the light source from view. Available in Classic White and New White, alongside Monochrome and Hues Of colourways, as well as Brass and Copper. The finishes offer a choice of single-colour shades, layered colour combinations and metallic surfaces.

Please note: copper and brass surfaces are untreated and will develop a natural patina over time.
