About the Panthella Portable Lamp The Originals

Designed in 1971, Panthella stands out as one of Verner Panton’s design icons with its unique expression where both the stand and the shade served as a reflector, thanks to the organic shapes that are characteristic of the Danish designer.

 

The Panthella Portable Lamp is a downscaled edition of Verner Panton’s popular Panthella 400 Table lamp, which makes for easy placement on windowsills, shelves, or tables. Regardless of which colour or material you choose, the Panthella Portable Lamp will provide exceptional light to all surroundings.

The 1970’s colours

The first Panthella lamp Verner Panton designed was introduced in 1971 in five vibrant colours including chrome stand.

A bold expression using bold materials, making the design truly stand out as an innovative and playful object like never before seen in his time.
