The PH Louvre is not only functional, but also highly decorative. Thanks to the special curves and arrangement of the individual slats, some of the light is directed upwards towards the ceiling and to the sides. However, the slats direct and reflect the majority of the light downwards. The ingenious lighting concept, conceived by Pouls Henningsen in 1957, means that the pendant light PH Louvre not only emits light, but also illuminates itself, so to speak. As a result, the pendant light PH Louvre from Louis Poulsen an impressive and unique eye-catcher.

Poul Henningsen developed the PH Louvre pendant luminaire for the Adventist Church in Skodsborg, a coastal town north of Copenhagen that was known for its sanatorium, which today houses the Skodsborg spa hotel. The ingenious considerations of designer Poul Henningsen in the construction of the PH Louvre pendant light based on mathematical calculations undoubtedly make the luminaire a design classic that easily keeps pace with technical developments in the lighting sector. The pendant light PH Louvre is equipped with an LED light source and is therefore energy-saving. The pendant light PH Louvre is available from TAGWERC Design STORE as a licensed original. spare parts for the pendant light PH Louvre by Poul Henningsen are also available from TAGWERC.
