PH Artichoke, white

72 blades in respectively metal and sandblasted, handmade glass form 12 precise rows with six blades each, ensuring glare-free light from any angle you view the spectacular pendant from. The name refers to the characteristic design that disperses light both inward and outward - partially through the sandblasted glass - thereby emitting a fantastically pleasant and unusually soft light. Although PH Artichoke Glass was introduced in 2008, the foundation was laid between 1927-1931 when Poul Henningsen developed PH Septima Glass Light with alternating clear and frosted glass surfaces. When Poul Henningsen was asked to develop a pendant for the then state-of-the-art Copenhagen restaurant Langelinie Pavillonen in 1958, it only took him three months to complete PH Artichoke, as he based it on the idea behind Septima. Visually, PH Artichoke Glass is even closer to Septima with its blades in sandblasted glass, which disperses the light, giving both the pendant and the surroundings extra glow.
