Over 50 years ago Poul Henningsen imagined the PH Artichoke and nowadays it is considered to be a classical masterpiece that has now its place in many interiors, private and public. The structure is made of twelve steel arches. On this structure PH placed 72 copper âleavesâ in twelve circular rows with six blades in each row.Â
Because each row is staggered from the previous, all 72 leaves are able to âcover for each otherâ. 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.

NĂ© Ă Copenhague, Poul Henningsen avait pour mĂšre la cĂ©lĂšbre actrice danoise Agnes Henningsen. Il nâa jamais obtenu son diplĂŽme dâarchitecte, mais a Ă©tudiĂ© Ă lâĂ©cole technique de Frederiksberg (Danemark) de 1911 Ă 1914, puis au Technical College de Copenhague (1914-1917).
Il a commencĂ© Ă pratiquer l'architecture traditionnelle fonctionnaliste, mais au fil des ans, ses intĂ©rĂȘts professionnels ont Ă©voluĂ© pour se concentrer principalement sur l'Ă©clairage, qui est ce qui le rend le plus cĂ©lĂšbre. Il a Ă©galement Ă©tendu son domaine dâactivitĂ© Ă des domaines dâĂ©criture, devenant journaliste et auteur. Pendant une courte pĂ©riode au dĂ©but de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il a Ă©tĂ© lâarchitecte en chef des jardins de Tivoli Ă Copenhague. Mais comme beaucoup d'autres crĂ©atifs, il a Ă©tĂ© contraint de fuir le Danemark pendant l'occupation allemande, puis est rapidement devenu un Ă©lĂ©ment vital de la colonie danoise d'artistes vivant en SuĂšde.
Sa longue collaboration avec Louis Poulsen a commencĂ© en 1925 et a durĂ© jusqu'Ă sa mort. Ă ce jour, Louis Poulsen bĂ©nĂ©ficie toujours de son gĂ©nie. Poul Henningsen Ă©tait Ă©galement le premier rĂ©dacteur en chef du magazine d'entreprise «NYT». Le PDG de Louis Poulsen Ă lâĂ©poque, Sophus Kaastrup-Olsen, a offert le magazine Ă PH parce quâil avait Ă©tĂ© licenciĂ© du journal danois pour lequel il travaillait (ses opinions Ă©taient trop radicales).
Le travail de pionnier de Poul Henningsen sur les relations entre les structures lumineuses, les ombres, lâĂ©blouissement et la reproduction des couleurs, comparĂ© au besoin de lumiĂšre de lâhomme, reste le fondement des thĂ©ories lumineuses encore pratiquĂ©es par Louis Poulsen.
