Brand: Louis Poulsen

Designer: Poul Henningsen

72 metal leaves form 12 precise rows with six leaves each to ensure a flawless non-glaring light no matter from which angle the remarkable pendant is viewed. The name refers to its characteristic design that distributes the light both inwards and outwards and thus providing a wonderfully pleasing light.

When asked to develop a pendant for the state-of-the-art Copenhagen restaurant Langelinie Pavilion in 1958. it only took Poul Henningsen three months to finish the PH Artichoke. The foundation was already laid around 1927-31. when he developed the PH Septima Glass Light with shades made from clear glass alternating with sandblasted sections. He based the PH Artichoke on the Septima idea.

Today visitors can still enjoy the PH Artichoke. now considered a true design icon. at the Langelinie Pavilion in the Danish capital.

Frequently asked questions

Why are your lamps so affordable?

All our lamps come directly from European design showrooms and exhibitions — genuine display or sample pieces, never replicas.

Because they were previously used for gallery or studio display, we’re able to offer them at significantly reduced prices compared to standard retail.

Each piece is carefully checked, cleaned, and tested before being listed.

Our aim is to make authentic designer lighting accessible at fair, honest prices.

Do the lamps have any signs of use?

Some display pieces may show light wear, such as small surface marks or minor scratches on the base.

These are purely cosmetic and do not affect performance.

Any visible details are always noted on the product page.

Every lamp is inspected, cleaned, and securely repackaged before dispatch.

We believe in full transparency — what you see is exactly what you receive.

Can you provide real photos of the lamps?

For some items, yes — we can provide actual photos on request.

However, lamps stored in sealed warehouse packaging may not always be available for additional photography.
