Poul Henningsen PH Artichoke Lamp
PH Artichoke (1958) is a 360-degree glare free luminaire created by 72
leaves, which shield the light source, redirect and reflect the light
onto the underlying leaves, giving distinct, unique illumination. The
PH Artichoke is considered to be a classical masterpiece made by Poul
Henningsen more than 40 years ago. The structure is made of twelve
steel arches. On this structure PH placed 72 copper "leaves" in twelve
circular rows with six blades in each row. Because each row is
staggered from the previous, all 72 leaves are able to "cover for each
other".
This design allows viewing the fixture from any angle without
being able to see the light source located in the center of the PH
Artichoke. The original PH Artichokes were developed for a restaurant
in Copenhagen called the Langelinie Pavilion, and they are still
hanging there today.
