About this piece
Verner Panton Panthella Floor Lamp made of white opal acrylic. Panton designed this lamp in 1977 for Louis Poulsen, and it remains one of his most popular light designs.
The organic shapes are typical for a Verner Panton design, as were the many strong colours the light was originally available in. Verner Panton wanted to create a light where both the foot and the shade served as a light reflector.
Verner Panton Panthella floor lamp designed by Verner Panton in 1971 for Louis Poulsen. The lamp stands as a typical example of mid-century modern design. Panton, a Danish designer known for his innovative and bold approach to furniture, colours, and lighting, sought to create pieces that were both functional and visually striking.
"The main purpose of my work is to provoke people into using their imagination" - Verner Panton.
The Panthella lamp embodies this philosophy with its unique shape and materials.
One of the defining features of the Panthella floor lamp is its organic, mushroom-like silhouette. The lamp comprises a hemispherical acrylic shade that provides light softly and evenly, creating a warm glow. The base complements the shade’s form and enhances the lamp’s sculptural presence. The base is made of ABS plastic, providing stability and a sleek finish.
Functionally, the Panthella lamp was designed to provide indirect, soft illumination. The light source is positioned within the shade, which directs light downward and outward, minimizing glare and creating a comfortable atmosphere suitable for various settings. This design makes it an ideal choice for living rooms, offices, or any space where a blend of functional lighting and decorative appeal is desired.
Panton was born north of Copenhagen, Denmark, and studied at Odense Technical College before enrolling to at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Upon finishing his Architecture degree he worked at Arne Jacbosen‘s Architect firm for a couple of years (1950 – 1952). Panton then started his own design and architectural studio soon to become known for its innovative architectural ideas, such as a collapsible house (1955). His passion for colours and geometric patterns manifested itself into a range of sculpture-like furniture.
