The ph artichoke lamp, designed by poul henningsen for louis poulsen in 1958, is one of the most iconic and recognizable lighting designs of the 20th century. This particular example, produced in denmark in the 1980s, is the 60 cm diameter version in brushed copper, a refined and highly decorative finish that enhances the sculptural quality of the piece.
originally created for the langelinie pavilion in copenhagen, the ph artichoke was conceived to provide a soft, warm and completely glare-free illumination. Its distinctive construction is formed by multiple overlapping leaves arranged around the central structure, carefully positioned to conceal the light source from every angle. This creates an enveloping and atmospheric light while giving the lamp its celebrated artichoke-like silhouette.
the brushed copper leaves add depth, warmth and elegance to the design, making this pendant lamp not only a functional lighting piece but also a strong decorative statement. Its balanced proportions, architectural presence and technical sophistication reflect poul henningsen’s lifelong research into light, shadow and visual comfort.
an emblematic piece of danish design, the ph artichoke remains one of louis poulsen’s most important models and a timeless reference within scandinavian modern lighting. This piece has an attribution mark,
