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 iconic and organic design is a testament to Louis Poulsen's mantra of form and function.
Louis Poulsen’s dedication to craftsmanship is evident in the Panthella 160 Portable lamp.
