PH Artichoke (1958) is a 360-degree glare free luminaire created by 72 leaves, which shield the light source, redirect and reflect the light onto the underlying leaves, giving distinct, unique illumination. The PH Artichoke is considered to be a classical masterpiece made by Poul Henningsen more than 40 years ago. The structure is made of twelve steel arches. On this structure PH placed 72 "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 the center of the PH Artichoke. The original PH Artichokes were developed for a restaurant in Copenhagen called the Langelinie Pavilion, and they are still hanging there today.
Materials:
The Artichoke Pendent comes brushed stainless steel with laser-cut steel leaves to produces shape lines reflective of modern design. It is mounted by stainless steel cables to hold the weight of the light.
This item will require some easy assembly and available in white. Bulb is not included.

Nothing impresses us quite the way lighting does. And if you're entertaining nothing could make your guests feel more welcome that the good lighting in you home.
Appropriate lighting can greatly impact the way people feel about their offices and homes. Gone are the days when the primary function of a light in a room was to illuminate it with a central ceiling light.
A successful lighting design is pleasing to the eye, focuses attention on key room features and eliminates shadows and hot spots.
