PH 5 Mini Monochrome Pendant, monochrome pale pewter

The pendant emits a glare-free, downward-directed light while illuminating its own frame, thereby creating a soft and pleasant radiance of light from the center of the pendant. Poul Henningsen designed the PH 5 in 1958 as a reaction to the constant changes in the shape and size of incandescent bulbs by manufacturers at that time, which Henningsen considered completely senseless. The PH 5 accommodated all types of light sources with its pleasant light. This made the PH 5 so famous that it later became synonymous with 'PH light', which to this day still enhances even the most modern interiors – and the same is true for the PH 5 Mini. The smaller version of the PH 5, introduced in 2017, is created in accordance with Poul Henningsen's original design with a top shade of approximately 30 cm in diameter. Henningsen had a scientific approach to lighting and continued to design fixtures based on the three-shade system he invented in 1925 to create excellent, glare-free light. He used the logarithmic spiral as a foundation and achieved a very uniform distribution of light with the three-shade system, which made it possible to control both glare and shadows.
