The Snowball by Louis Poulsen, designed by Poul Henningsen in 1958, is a lamp that reflects the designer’s constant quest to create direct, glare-free lighting exactly where it is needed most.

Henningsen developed his first luminaires in 1925–1926 for an exhibition in Paris and continued to collaborate with Louis Poulsen until his death in 1967, refining an approach to comfortable lighting with soft shadows, originally intended to work with incandescent bulbs.

Snowball was unveiled in 1958 alongside the PH 5 at the Danish Museum of Decorative Art. At the time, it went relatively unnoticed, but in 1983 it was relaunched and production resumed, eventually establishing itself as an iconic piece within the PH universe thanks to its sculptural presence and lighting quality.
