PH 5 500 pendant, brass
Description
Louis Poulsen’s PH 5 500 pendant light, designed by Poul Henningsen in 1958, is a Danish design icon that has gained immense global popularity. The pendant’s structure is both elegant and innovative: the beautiful, layered shades prevent glare and provide a pleasant lighting in any room. The name of the pendant refers to its designer and the main shade’s 50-centimeter diameter. PH 5 500 pendant light is perfect above a dining table but also suits higher mounting in various architectural spaces.
Released in 2019, PH 5 500 brass pendant pairs polished brass with pure white shades. Over time, the brass will develop a charming patina.

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 color rendering – themes that still influence the company’s design philosophy.
