Iconic PH Artichoke pendant light designed by Poul Henningsen for Louis Poulsen. This celebrated Mid-Century Modern fixture features the signature multi-layered arrangement of precision-formed metal leaves that completely shield the light source while creating a warm, glare-free illumination. Finished in a copper-toned metal with white interior surfaces, the sculptural pendant serves as both a functional light fixture and a striking work of modern design. First introduced in 1958 for Copenhagen’s Langelinie Pavilion, the PH Artichoke remains one of the most recognizable and influential lighting designs of the twentieth century.
