Description

The PH Snowball is a pendant lamp designed by Poul Henningsen in 1958 and brought into production by Louis Poulsen in 1983. Its striking yet soft glow is created by the layered arrangement of rounded shades, which gently reflect the light between them. In this edition from 2025, the top surfaces of the shades are finished in a soft matte colour, while the undersides are bright white. The polished, metallized brass frame completes the lamp's warm, radiant look.

PH Snowball is a more compact version of the PH Louvre lamp, originally designed by Henningsen for the Adventist Church in Skodsborg, Denmark. With a diameter of 40 cm, this pendant light is ideal for hanging above a dining table or a seating area, and also suits rooms with lower ceilings.

Poul Henningsen

Poul Henningsen (1894–1967) was a renowned Danish designer. He studied at the Technical School in Frederiksberg from 1911 to 1914 and continued his education at the Technical University of Copenhagen from 1914 to 1917. Henningsen began his career as an architect, but gradually shifted his focus to lighting and lamp design. Later in his life, he also worked as a journalist and writer.

Henningsen’s long-standing collaboration with Louis Poulsen began in 1925 and continued until his death. His ingenious lighting designs remain a cornerstone of Louis Poulsen’s collection to this day. He also served as the first editor of Louis Poulsen’s corporate magazine, NYT. Henningsen’s work explored the structure of light, shadow, reflection and colour rendering – themes that still influence the company’s design philosophy.
