Louis Poulsen PH 5 300 pendant light, brass, 30 cm

The PH 5 300 hanging light with brass and white lampshade

The PH 5 300 hanging light is, so to speak, the little sister of the PH 5 500, which was launched in 1958. It is a light featuring a multi-shade system made of metal, which provides completely glare-free light. The Danish designer Poul Henningsen, who collaborated with the manufacturer Louis Poulsen from 1925 until his death in 1967, laid the foundations for the lighting theory still employed by the company today with the PH 5 pendant light.

In 2017, Louis Poulsen launched the PH 5 300, a counterpart to the PH 5 500 that is smaller in diameter but otherwise identical in construction, and which now features a new look in brass and white. This colour combination creates a light output that lends a particularly warm ambience, as the reflective brass surfaces reflect the surroundings. It should be noted that the brass surface is untreated and will develop a lovely patina over time, a process that may already have begun at the factory.

The lighting manufacturer Louis Poulsen was founded in 1874 and has always pursued the vision that design gives form to light and that light has a positive effect on people and spaces. With a focus on the balance between craftsmanship and innovation, the company creates renowned luminaires for both domestic and commercial use.
