About the Panthella 160 Portable Lamp

The Panthella lamp design is one of Verner Panton's most significant designs, reflecting the Danish architect's larger-than-life personality. He aimed to create an organic-shaped lamp that provides 100% glare-free light, with both the stand and the shade serving as light reflectors.

 

Panton succeeded by making the Panthella lamp with Louis Poulsen in 1971. The lamp's characteristic shape and ability to reflect soft light from its trumpet-shaped base have cemented its status as a design icon.

 

The Panthella 160 Portable lamp is a downscaled version of the original design. The lamp is only 160 mm in diameter, making it the perfect size to take from room to room or outside on the balcony or in the garden, where it will look amazing and create a wonderful ambience.

  • This portable table lamp emits a glare-free, soft, and comfortable light. The opaque shade variants reflects the light downwards and provides pleasant illumination created by the inner white painted shade and the reflection from the trumpet-shaped stem. The opal variants provides gentle illumination and subtle ambience due to the transparency and the reflection of the downward light on the inner side of the shade.

The opaque shade directs light downward, providing focused illumination. The inner white shade reflects light softly within the trumpet-shaped base, ensuring a gentle yet concentrated light.
