Description

The PH Artichoke Anniversary Edition, launched in honour of Louis Poulsen's 150th anniversary, is a unique collector's item. The outer surface of the anniversary model is painted matte white and the inner surface is pale pink, paying homage to the original copper model, which also had a rose interior. The luminaire is only available as a limited edition of 300 pieces, and each lamp is engraved with a unique identification number.

Louis Poulsen’s PH Artichoke pendant, designed by Poul Henningsen in 1958, is a modern design icon and one of Henningsen's most famous lamps. PH Artichoke consists of 72 thin metal sheets which spread around the lamp's steel frame and open up like leaves of an artichoke. PH Artichoke was originally designed for the Langelinie Pavilion restaurant in Copenhagen, where it still hangs today. The enchanting luminaire catches the eye at home, office or any public space.

Poul Henningsen

Poul Henningsen (1894-1967) was a famous Danish designer who studied at the Technical School at Frederiksberg, Denmark, from 1911 to 1914, and then at the Technical College in Copenhagen from 1914 to 1917. He started practicing traditional functionalistic architecture, but over the years his professional interests changed to focus mainly on lighting which is what he became famous for.

He also expanded his field of occupation into areas of writing, becoming a journalist and an author. His lifelong collaboration with Louis Poulsen Lighting began in 1925 and lasted until his death. To this day, Louis Poulsen Lighting still benefits from his genius. Poul Henningsen was also the first editor of the company magazine “NYT”. Poul Henningsen’s pioneering work concerning the relations between light structures, shadows, glare, and color reproduction – compared to man’s need for light remains the fondation of the lighting theories still practiced by Louis Poulsen Lighting.
