Poul Henningsen (after), White Artichoke Pendant Light, Large Model

PH Artichoke – An Icon of Luminous Design

Designed in 1958 by Poul Henningsen for the Langelinie Pavilion restaurant in Copenhagen, the PH Artichoke is a masterpiece of Scandinavian design and lighting engineering. Composed of 72 metal leaves arranged in 12 rows, it provides a soft, glare-free illumination from any angle. Inspired by Henningsen’s research on light diffusion, this sculptural luminaire has become a true timeless icon, still on display at the Langelinie Pavilion. Its elegant aesthetic and exceptional functionality make it an essential piece of modern design.
