About the PH 5 Retake
The fixture provides a comfortable, glare-free light based on the principle of Poul Henningsen’s reflective three-shade system, which directs the majority of the light downward. It emits a lateral light as well as illuminating itself, providing a soft radiance from within its core. The fixture is a retake of a classic PH 5. It has been stripped of all previous paint, thus appearing raw and untouched. The inner shades are comprised of bare metal to provide a particularly gentle light reflection, which delivers a warm and cozy ambiance. The lower shade is fitted with a frosted-glass diffuser to ensure that the downwardly directed light is 100% glare-free.

Please note that the metal surface is treated with a dry lubricant to prevent further patination. The lower steel shade will corrode over time unless it is treated further. If preferred, applying a dry lubricant every now and then will help maintain the original raw- metal finish. Mounted over the dining table in a small, hip city apartment kitchen—or in a row above a long kitchen table in a classic and stylish house—the PH 5 Retake provides a cozy ambiance with a truly modern edge. Merging retro with contemporary, the PH 5 Retake is also a perfect fits for sharp up-and-coming retail environments, bars, and restaurants.

PH 5 Retake
The fixture is a retake on a classical PH 5 and has been stripped of all its previous paint, thus appearing raw and untouched.
The bare metal inner shades give a particularly gentle light reflection, delivering a warm and cosy ambience.
The lower shade is furthermore fitted with a frosted diffuser glass to ensure that the downward directed light is 100% glare-free.
The transition process from a vintage or imperfect PH 5—for example, with a dent or slight surface irregularities—to a one-of-a-kind PH 5 Retake involves removing the paint from each pendant. This allows the aesthetics of the aluminium shades and the lower steel shade to emerge with remarkable raw nuances.
At the end of the process, the PH 5 Retake is coated with a dry lubricant to protect its metal parts. Without further treatment, the metal will patinate beautifully over time, giving each pendant its own characteristic expression.
