(Encountered this gorgeous piece of lamp at the Taipei World Design EXPO today) The PH Artichoke. Design by Poul Henningsen in 1958, manufactured by Louis Poulsen. “The distinctive design of the PH Artichoke comes from its structure made of 72 ‘leaves’ placed on 12 circular steel arches. The light source/bulb at the center of the fixture is not visible from any angle. Moreover, the comfortable light is directed an reflected onto the underlying leaves, illuminating the entire artichoke and resulting in soft, unique lighting. “
