PH 5, Opal

New product

The PH 5 Opal is a new take on Poul Henningsen's PH 5, with an opalescent expression from its slightly translucent, glossy material. Inspired by classic PH opal glass shades, the semi-translucent shades give a softer, more diffused and ambient light, with an omnidirectional and uniform brightness over a larger area.

Henningsen created the PH 5 in 1958. Based on his three-shade system, the fixture sends light both downward and sideways and illuminates itself, so the light is soft and glare-free.

Product Spec Sheet
Designer

Louis Poulsen was established in Copenhagen in 1874, and its story began with the introduction of fine wines to the Danish market. By 1892 its focus had shifted towards lighting, and in 1924 its collaboration with Poul Henningsen began, followed by Arne Jacobsen in 1960 and later Verner Panton. Its collection spans pendants and ceiling lamps, floor, table and wall lamps, and outdoor lighting.

Poul Henningsen (1894-1967) was a highly influential Danish designer, architect, writer, and cultural critic, renowned for his pioneering work in lighting design, which remains integral to Louis Poulsen’s heritage. Born in Copenhagen to writers Agnes Henningsen and Carl Ewald, Henningsen initially practiced functionalist architecture but became famous for his innovative lighting designs. During WWII, he briefly served as the head architect for Tivoli Gardens before fleeing to Sweden, where he joined a community of Danish artists.
