Created in 1971,
Panthella is one of Verner Panton's most famous designs. The basic lighting principle was to create a lamp whose base and shade acted as a reflector. The light source of the lamps is hidden behind a hemispherical shade in milky white acrylic and a white trumpet-shaped base contributes to superb light distribution and a well-balanced shape. The
Panthella luminaire by
Louis Poulsen emits a soft, muted light. The hemispherical shade reflects light downwards; its material ensures that most of this light is diffused throughout the room.
