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.
The Panthella collection, designed by Verner Panton, is celebrated for its distinctive, trumpet-like silhouette that gracefully diffuses soft, glare-free light. This same lighting quality is present in the most compact version of the Panthella series: the Panthella 160 Portable Lamp. A refined, scaled-down interpretation of the original design, this iconic, organic form perfectly embodies Louis Poulsen’s commitment to the seamless fusion of form and function.
Louis Poulsen’s dedication to quality and craftsmanship is evident in every detail of the Panthella 160 Portable Lamp.
Even in this compact version, every curve and element reflects Panton’s unwavering pursuit of functional beauty. By blending innovative design with practical features, this lamp is both a striking decorative piece and a highly functional light source, ensuring timeless appeal.
The opal acrylic shade diffuses soft, even light, casting a warm and inviting glow across a room. This makes it particularly suited to living spaces or areas where a gentle, ambient light is preferred.
Designed to direct light downward, the opaque shade ensures a more focused illumination. The inner white shade reflects light softly within the trumpet-shaped base, creating a refined yet functional glow—perfect for task lighting, reading nooks, or workspaces.
Take the new and improved version of the Panthella 160 Portable lamp anywhere and enjoy hours and hours of light. It can be recharged using a USB cord and has a more durable, replaceable battery for extended usage. When fully charged, it provides approximately 8,5 hours of light at 100% and up to 79 hours when dimmed to 10%.
Built-in LED: 2700K 2.5W.
The integrated LED light source emits a warm glow, helping to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere in any space.
