The 24-Carat Gold Poul Henningsen Artichoke Light

Some months ago we told you all about the reincarnation of the iconic Poul Henningsen Artichoke Light that went on sale for around £18,000. Well… we can now go one better and tell you all about the `24 carat gold leaf` version that retails for a staggering £55,648!

There`s only 50 of these iconic luxury light fittings, which were originally introduced 50 years ago specially for the Langeliniepavillonen restaurant at the Copenhagen waterfront. The originals were cast in copper with a brushed, slightly matt surface – not to dissimilar to the one before you which is also made of copper and then gold leafed.

PH Artichoke Gold is only sold by Louis Poulsen Lighting in Copenhagen.
