In 1958, Poul Henningsen designed the PH Artichoke for Langelinie Pavilionen, a modernist restaurant in Copenhagen, in which the iconic suspension model continues to inspire guests. Each of the 72 PH Artichoke sheets are carefully hand-assembled into the frame, giving the lamp its distinctive shape, which inspired its name, while ensuring an anti-glowing light from any angle. ...

72 sheets of metal form twelve precise rows of six sheets each to ensure a flawless and unblemished light, regardless of the angle from which this unique suspension lamp is viewed.

The name also refers to its characteristic design, similar to that of an alcachofa, which distributes light both inward and outward and thus provides a resulting lighting that is the most pleasant.

When Poul Henningsen was asked, in 1958, to devise a suspension lamp for the modern Copenhagen restaurant Langelinie Pavlonen, the designer took only three months to alter his design of the lighting environment. The designer had already developed the concept of this c7-300 lighting system, which is known for its high-quality

The PH system was developed to bring households an entirely unshaded surface illumination that was effective and more pleasant in the era when electric lighting began to take over from candlesticks with candles and kerosene lamps, in the late 1920s. However, the first to be conquered by the functional and ultra-modern PH lamp finish were the shops and public bodies. Meanwhile, the light of choice over the tables of most households' dining rooms was the candelabro itself, which went on to provide electricity and silk displays.

Designed and built originally for the Danish labour movement, the building opened its doors in 1956 and is now used as a concert hall under the name Vega. The building is a gesamtkunstwerk, meaning that Lauritzen designed everything in the building, from the pomos of the doors, stairs and power outlets to the furniture and lamps. The VL56 Suspended is one of the lamps that Vilhelm Lauritzen designed for the Vega and, to date, hangs above the wooden bar next to the concert hall. ...

Poul Henningsen designed hundreds of lamps based on its three-screen system developed in 1926, a system with an attractive compact upper display of approximately 50 cm and an unmatched lighting quality for all kinds of needs. Many of its lamp designs have a number that indicates the size of the display of the model in question. The PH 5/5 is described as a full-size suspension lighting system characterized by its attractive compact upper display of approximately 50 cm and a proportion with respect to the mid- and upper-sized displays. Many of its lighting designs have a number that indicates the size of the display of the model in question. ...

This suspension lamp emits a downward-directed light without glare while illuminating its own structure to provide a comfortable and radiant appearance that springs from the heart of it.

Poul Henningsen designed the PH 5 in 1958 in response to the numerous alterations applied to the shape and size of incandescent bulbs by manufacturers of the time, which Henningsen found to be totally absurd light.

The PH 5 fitted with all light sources extracting from any of them a pleasant illumination.

This made the PH 5 such an audacious item that it would end up conforming to the three DISENADOR blue lights that still illuminate today The most of the lighting spaces designed in the upper half of the screen

Poul Henningsen designed hundreds of light bulbs based on its three-screen system developed in 1926, with a compact upper display of approximately 30 cm and an unmatched lighting quality ratio for all kinds of needs. Many of its light bulbs designs have a number that indicates the size of each model's screen. The PH 3/3 is described as a three-dimensional light suspension system characterized by its attractive compact upper display of approximately 30 cm and an unmatched ratio compared to the mid- and upper dimensional displays of 3:2:1. ...

Poul Henningsen designed the three-screen light system in 1925-1926. Along with Louis Poulsen, PH designed the first light bulbs to use this system for an exhibition in Paris. Collaboration between the two continued until his death in 1967. Throughout his life, he sought to create direct lighting without glare in the places where it was most needed. In addition, he used incandescent light bulbs as a light source to create soft shadows. The PH 2/1 Light Suspended form part of the three-screen family, which already has 30 lights, currently included for outdoor use. Therefore, PH did not design a whole light system; over the course of three years, three models were designed to reduce the lower dim light. ...

In 2015, the Patera pendant, designed by Øivind Slaatto, was launched as a modern version of the classic spider lamp, providing a glowing focal point and a smooth and dynamic lighting to contemporary spaces. Patera's 360-degree, non-glowing lighting is the result of an intricate design with cells located in different positions that allow spaces, people and surrounding objects to create a natural, uniform and luminous light.

The shape is beautiful to look at from all angles, and its structure based on the Fibonacci sequence provides a smooth impression of each of these three. The final design of Patera was to move a single lamp from a vertical angle to a vertical angle. It was a more complex task to emitted light from the sky, allowing people to create a new, uniform and

Therefore, PH did not design a whole lighting system, but three different models were designed; over the years, a number of models have been created. ...

In addition, he used incandescent bulbs as a light source to create soft shadows. The PH 4/3 Metal Suspended was born in 1966. Its design follows the general three-screen system, based on the Lithuanian curve, with the light source located in the center of the Avalanche. ...

The PH 31⁄2-3 Glass Suspended is the result of one of many projects undertaken by Poul Henningsen to develop its three-screen system from 1926. Poul Henningsen devoted much of his life to taming electric light. He based his three-screen design on a Lithuanian curve to make the most of the light source. He was always doing calculations and tests. ...
