The PH Snowball lamp is a classic Danish lighting design created for Louis Poulsen by an architect and designer – Poul Henningsen, in 1958. Poul Henningsen is known for his innovative work in lighting design, particularly his use of layered shades to create soft and diffused lighting effects. His quest to make lamps that completely eliminated the effect of glare allowed him to create a whole series of lighting fixtures, fascinating in both appearance and function. The serial production of this lamp started in the early 80s and this particular one is dated in the 1980s-1990s

The PH Snowball lamp features a distinctive design with multiple concentric shades, which diffuse and direct the light in such a way that eliminates glare while providing comfortable and ambient illumination. The lamp is composed of a series of layered white metal shades arranged in a spherical shape, resembling a snowball, hence the name. This design approach is aimed at achieving uniform and pleasant lighting without any harsh shadows. If the lamp is on, it emits light into the surroundings, which does not dazzle at all, and at the same time, illuminates itself. This vintage pendant lamp is ideal for creating lighting for a living room or dining room table.

The PH Snowball lamp is often considered timeless and iconic mid-century modern Scandinavian design and is still produced and appreciated by design enthusiasts today. It’s one of the many designs by Poul Henningsen that showcase his mastery in creating both functional and visually appealing lighting solutions.
