Description:

The Poulsen PH Snowball Pendant is a wonder not only of glare-free illumination, but also of precise mathematics. Designer Poul Henninsen shaped the Poulsen PH Snowball Pendant so that every surface is struck by a ray of light at exactly the same angle, creating even illumination without harsh glare

The Poulsen PH Snowball Pendant Lamp features glossy top shades for sparkling light, and matte undersides to prevent reflections. The result is an even, warm glow.

Poul Henningsen designed the Snowball Pendant in 1924, and many consider it to be a smaller version of the PH Louvre he made for the Adventist Church in Skodsborg, Denmark. Henninsen's inspiration was the quality of light he'd experienced from petroleum lanterns, which lined the streets of the small Danish town he grew up in.
