About the PH Artichoke

72 metal leaves form 12 precise rows with six leaves each to ensure a flawless non-glaring light no matter from which angle the remarkable pendant is viewed.

The name refers to its characteristic design that distributes the light both inwards and outwards and thus providing a wonderfully pleasing light.

When asked to develop a pendant for the state-of-the-art Copenhagen restaurant Langelinie Pavilion in 1958, it only took Poul Henningsen three months to finish the PH Artichoke. The foundation was already laid around 1927-31, when he developed the PH Septima Glass Light with shades made from clear glass alternating with sandblasted sections. He based the PH Artichoke on the Septima idea.

Today visitors can still enjoy the PH Artichoke, now considered a true design icon, at the Langelinie Pavilion in the Danish capital.

The pendant illuminates any space with a 100% glare-free light due to the 72 leaves, which form 12 precisely positioned rows that hold six leaves each. The fixture ensures the light is distributed inwards as well as outwards, thereby emitting a beautiful and comfortable light. Moreover, the high quality of light is maintained in the energy efficient LED variant that creates the same renowned atmosphere around the pendant.

The Master of light

The PH Artichoke, designed by Poul Henningsen in 1958, offers glare-free light from every angle with its 72 meticulously crafted leaves. Today, it stands as a global design icon, admired for its functional brilliance and sculptural elegance.

Let the PH Artichoke enhance your home

The larger PH Artichoke pendants are often mounted on high ceilings in halls or entryways, providing gentle, ambient illumination. The smaller versions are typically suspended lower over dining or living room tables, offering a warm, inviting glow. They are also a popular choice in pairs above long dining tables, creating a striking lighting display.

For more specific recommendations, the PH Artichoke is well suited to the following spaces:

Dining room: Hang it above your dining table to create an inviting atmosphere with soft, ambient lighting. For longer tables, consider hanging two for a balanced effect.

Living room: Suspend it lower over a coffee table to enhance the room’s ambience with a warm, diffused glow.

Bedroom: Position it in a corner for soft, glare-free general lighting that adds elegance to the space.

Hallway: Install it high on lofty ceilings to create a welcoming atmosphere in your hall or entryway.

Enhance your space with lighting
