An icon in new colours
Textile artist Louise Sass, has created a new colour scheme for the famous PH 5 lamp by Poul Henningsen in collaboration with Louis Poulsen A/S. The new concept gives indiviual colours to the shades of the lamp.
The colour scale of the pendant lamp changes gradually from the topshade and downwards. It changes from dark to light, with subtle shifts of the hue. The new dynamic colour scheme with graduated colours celebrates the 60th anniversary of PH5. Six colourways.
Photo above: Six graduated colour scales on paper and lacquered steel. The four colours at the top shows the hues of the outer shades of the lamp. The colours at the bottom presents the hues of the inner rings. In the colour system of the lamp, the inner rings are contrasting complementary colours to the outside.
