Designer Poul Henningsen

The PH 5 Mini, with a diameter of 30 cm, is a scaled down version of the iconic PH 5 (50 cm in diameter). Poul Henningsen developed the PH 5 in 1958 in response to constant changes to the shape and size of incandescent bulbs by bulb manufacturers. At the introduction of the PH 5, Poul Henningsen wrote the following: “After 33 years of basically Christian behaviour I have converted to Islam in my relationship to the manufacture of incandescent bulbs. For a generation I have believed that consideration for the consumer and common sense would prevail, but now I have become a fatalist. I have accepted fate, and with Louis Poulsen´s permission I have designed a PH fixture which can be used with any kind of light source, Christmas lights and 100 W metal-filament bulbs. Although a fluorescent tube would be too much to ask in the existing form!”. The PH 5 was introduced as a classic new product, and no one knew at the time that it would eventually become synonymous with the PH light.

Concept
PH 5 Mini provides glare-free lighting. The design of the visible reflectors directs light both vertically and horizontally. The inside cone is painted red, and together with the small blue reflector, it creates a warm tone of light.
