Louis Poulsen Artichoke, now in LED
I was SO excited to see the following press release. The iconic Poul Henningsen Artichoke is now available in LED!!! PH Artichoke goes green
Poul Henningsen's world-famous design icon, PH Artichoke, has now been made future-proof with a specially designed LED light source.
PH based his lighting philosophy on the incandescent bulb and its focal point. He designed his highly successful light fixtures around this light source with a minutious precision which made them known and admired around the world.
PH left nothing to chance, and the work of updating his designs to new requirements and technologies has therefore been challenging at times. The time has finally come to update his most prestigious design, PH Artichoke.
PH Artichoke illuminates both itself and the surrounding space. This requires high output from the light source, and LEDs have only recently been developed to a level sufficient to permit their use. The new 90W LED version of the fixture offers the same light output, comfort and atmosphere as the 500W incandescent bulb version.
We have designed a completely new light element for the LED version of PH Artichoke. In most models this is installed in the shade set in a way that allows replacement. Unlike earlier versions using energy-saving light sources, the LED version is dimmable. This detail help consolidate the PH Artichoke's position as one of the most atmospheric light fixtures available.
PH Artichoke is one of the most renowned light fixtures in the world, and the LED version of this famous icon is a good illustration of how a clear focus on climate and energy consumption focus be consistent with an uncompromising attitude to aesthetics and light quality.
