The PH Artichoke pendant lamp was designed and made by by Poul Henningsen in 1958. The structure is made of twelve steel arches. On this structure PH (Poul Henningsen) placed 72 copper "leaves" in twelve circular rows with six blades in each row. Because each row is staggered from the previous, all 72 leaves are able to cover for each other. This design allows viewing the fixture from any angle without being able to see the light source located in thecenter of the PH artichoke. It also reflects the light onto the underlying leaves, giving distinct, unique illumination. The original lamps were developed for a restaurant in Copenhagen, and they are still hanging there today. The finish includes copper or stainless steel--brushed, or lacquered. The leaves on the lamp are die cut copper, laser cut stainless steel, or die cut steel. The top shade consists of white, spun steel and the frame is made of lustre chrome plated, laser cut steel. The suspension of the pendant lamp is high lustre chrome plated, spun aluminum. Suspension length is 12' and maximum weight is 55 lbs. Manufacturer Info:
