The Louis Poulsen PH Artichoke Metallic Collection brings together two of the most luxurious finishes of Poul Henningsen's iconic 1958 masterpiece – Brass and Copper. Handcrafted in Denmark, each pendant features 72 individually positioned metal leaves that completely conceal the light source while creating beautifully soft, glare-free illumination from every angle.
Originally designed for Copenhagen's Langelinie Pavilion, the PH Artichoke has become one of the world's most recognisable designer lights, admired for its sculptural form, exceptional craftsmanship and timeless Scandinavian design.
Whether suspended above a dining table, within a grand entrance hall or as the focal point of a living space, the PH Artichoke Metallic Collection creates a striking architectural statement while providing warm, comfortable light.
