Louis Poulsen - PH Septima Pendant Lamp

Louis Poulsen Ph Septima pendant.

Design by Poul Henningsen from 1928.

A true Danish design icon that has gained tremendous popularity worldwide.

The PH Septima is considered one of Poul Henningsen's most refined pendant lamps.

The Louis Poulsen brand celebrates Poul Henningsen's most prolific designer by relaunching the glamorous PH Septima glass lamp. The Danish designer first presented his work in the Danish Museum of Decorative Arts in 1928 and and the PH system with the three metal caps was an immediate success, he also applied 4 layers and switched the material. Due to the combination of clear and matt elements made of Italian borosilicate glass, the lamp creates a soft glow and gives a poetic touch to any room.

Louis Poulsen now brings back Poul Henningsen's refined seven-color glass crown based on the PH Septima 5 with optimized suspension and improved glass for better durability and stability. The characteristic silhouette of Louis Poulsen Septima by Louis Poulsen is given by a total of seven glass panels. These are alternately tiled in clear glass and smoked glass, resulting in a particularly beautifully distributed glow of light in the overall picture.

The Setima is made of Italian borosilicate glass, which is both thin and extremely resistant, and when it was first exhibited as a prototype in 1928 at the Danish Museum of Decorative Arts (now Designmuseum Denmark), the lamp even received a public applause.

About the designer:

Poul Henningsen (1894-1967) was a famous Danish designer who studied at the Technical School at Frederiksberg, Denmark, from 1911 to 1914, and then at the Technical College in Copenhagen from 1914 to 1917. He started practicing traditional functionalist architecture, but over the years his professional interests changed to focus mainly on lighting which is what he became famous for.
