PH Louvre (formerly called PH Kugle) was designed for the Adventist Church in Skodsborg back in 1957. Poul Henningsen was asked to design a decorative pendant for the church. He decided to make this globe-shaped pendant, which consists of 13 slats mounted on 3 legs. The pendulum is a simplified version of the Spiral, which he designed as early as 1942. The name Louvre comes from the similarity to slatted screens on a door or window, where the light escapes through the slats. In addition to the PH Louvre, Poul Henningsen also designed a smaller wall lamp for the church with 7 slats. This wall lamp later formed the basis for another icon, the PH Snowball. Its a midt century modern design, comes in top top condition, and is one of the most beautiful lamps Poul Henningsen ever made. Comes with canopy.
