Louis Poulsen PH Snowball Pendant

Designed by Poul Henningsen, the Louis Poulsen PH Snowball is stylishly suspended somewhere between his equally beloved and ubiquitous Artichoke and PH5 pendants. Concurrently exhibited in a 1958 museum show alongside the PH5, the Snowball didn't initially receive a whole lot of love. Relaunched (with adoration to follow) in 1983, only the top portion of the lamp is lit when turned on, leaving the bottom half in a wash of diffused illumination that reflectively cascades down the fixture.
