'PH 5' pendant light, monochrome black, US plug

Defined by metal shades, the 'PH 5' pendant lamp recalls the mid-century modern revival of geometric shapes. A development of the original 1958 design by Poul Henningsen for Louis Poulsen, the design can be traced further back to 1925 when the innovative three-shade system — based on a logarithmic spiral — won gold at exhibition in Paris. Radiating hushed, even light from its center, undisturbed by glare or shadow, this sculptural statement, shown here in monochrome black, injects a clean retro feel to any space. Supplied with a US plug. The bulb is not included.
