PH Artichoke 600 Pendant by Louis Poulsen is the mid-scale variant of one of the most celebrated luminaires in design history. Poul Henningsen created the Artichoke in 1958 for the Langelinie Pavilion restaurant, completing the design in three months by drawing on three decades of prior development including the PH Septima shade experiments of 1927–31. The 72-leaf, 12-row structure performs the same optical task as Henningsen's other shade systems — eliminating all direct sight lines to the light source — but does so through a geometry of extraordinary visual complexity. At 600mm the Artichoke is generously proportioned for a high-ceilinged dining room, an open-plan living space, a restaurant interior or a hotel lobby where a pendant of true architectural scale is required.

Each of the 72 individually positioned leaves contributes both to the visual character of the pendant and to its photometric performance — the light is distributed inward through the leaf structure, downward below the shade, and outward and upward in a soft halo effect. The 600 diameter produces a pendant of unmistakable presence that commands the ceiling position it occupies. In copper, steel or painted finishes the Artichoke 600 has been specified in some of the most significant dining and hospitality interiors in Europe and beyond over the past six decades.

Architects and interior designers specifying the PH Artichoke 600 will find the DWG drawing and CAD block invaluable for ceiling coordination and scale assessment in plan and section.
