Louis Poulsen PH Snowball Pendant Light - White
Designed by Poul Henningsen, the PH Snowball Pendant Light reflects his lifelong mission to create...Designed by Poul Henningsen, the PH Snowball Pendant Light reflects his lifelong mission to create glare-free, harmonious lighting. First introduced in 1958 at the Danish Museum of Decorative Art (now the Designmuseum Denmark), it was part of the "Glass, Light and Colour" exhibition alongside the PH Artichoke and PH 5. While it initially went unnoticed, the PH Snowball was relaunched in 1983 and has since become a celebrated piece of Danish design. The pendant features eight carefully arranged shades that form an elegant, spherical shape, reminiscent of Henningsen's earlier works like the Contrast lamp and PH Louvre. This thoughtful construction ensures that light is evenly diffused, creating a soft and comfortable glow without glare. Its sculptural form adds a striking yet understated presence to any interior, making it as much a work of art as a source of light. The PH Snowball's timeless appeal and functional brilliance make it a versatile addition to both modern and classic interiors. Louis Poulsen Pendant.

A true pioneer of light as a sensory experience, Henningsen has devoted his life to designing luminaires capable of softening artificial light.A sculptural, harmonious silhouetteComprising eight superimposed Lampshades, the PH Snowball Pendant adopts a slightly elongated spherical shape, reminiscent of his earlier creations such as the Contrast Lamp or the PH Louvre. It is mounted on three Chromed metal rods, providing a structure that is both discreet and elegant. First exhibited in 1958 at the Danish Museum of Decorative Arts during the Glass, Light and Colour exhibition, it was relaunched in production by Louis Poulsen in 1983 and has continued to win over design enthusiasts ever since.Controlled, glare-free lightThe strength of PH Snowball lies in its ability to diffuse a soft, even light without ever dazzling. The inner surfaces of the Lampshades are matt to absorb light, while the glossy upper surfaces subtly reflect it. The result is a masterful Toy of shadows and reflections, in which the upper part of the luminaire seems to float, illuminated, while the lower part remains in semi-darkness.
