Poul Henningsen (1894–1967)
Artichoke Pendant 28
This Artichoke pendant presents a generous copper canopy of precisely overlapping leaves. The repetition gives the metal a shifting play of light and shadow.
The Artichoke began as Henningsen’s 1958 commission for the Langelinie Pavilion in Copenhagen. Its radial arrangement of 72 leaves turned his longstanding interest in glare control into a striking architectural object.
