Louis Poulsen's Artichoke illuminates any space with a 100% glare-free light due to the 72 leaves, which form 12 precisely positioned rows that hold six leaves each. The fixture ensures the light is distributed inwards as well as outwards, thereby emitting a beautiful and comfortable light. Moreover, the high quality of light is maintained in the energy efficient LED variant that creates the same renowned atmosphere around the pendant.

When asked to develop a pendant for the state-of-the-art Copenhagen restaurant Langelinie Pavilion in 1958, it only took Poul Henningsen three months to finish the PH Artichoke. The foundation was already laid around 1927-31, when he developed the PH Septima Glass Light with shades made from clear glass alternating with sandblasted sections. He based the PH Artichoke on the Septima idea.
