Panthella 500 Floor Lamp The Originals brings back the coloured opal shades of Verner Panton's 1971 design for Louis Poulsen. The trumpet-shaped stem and the hemispherical shade work together as one reflector, so the light falls softly downwards while the coloured opal acrylic glows from within. The result is a warm, glare-free light with a strong sculptural presence.
The Originals series is available in five shade colours: Original Opal Blue Grey, Red, Orange, Green and Brown. Place it next to a sofa or in a corner that needs atmosphere. See more floor lamps or explore the Verner Panton collection.
Light source: E27, 1 bulb. IP20, indoor. Bulb not included. 2.5 m cord with plug and foot switch.

Louis Poulsen
Panton's 1971 lamp where the base is a reflector
DesignerVerner Panton1926–1998
Verner Panton launched the Panthella with Louis Poulsen in 1971. The hemispherical shade sends light down onto a trumpet-shaped base, which reflects it back into the room, so you see the glow and not the bulb. The family now runs from a 16 cm portable to a 50 cm floor lamp.

Soft light, hidden bulb
Shade and base work together, so the light reaches the room only after it has been reflected.
Sizes for every surface
Portables at 16 and 25 cm, table lamps at 25, 32 and 40 cm, and floor lamps for reading corners and living rooms.
Corded or cordless
The portables run on a built-in battery with step dimming, so they move from shelf to terrace table.
Panton's love of colour
Opal white sits next to coloured opal, opaque and chrome versions, a nod to the designer's love of colour.

A light sculpture
When it appeared, the Panthella's curved form was new because both the stand and the shade worked as reflectors. Light falls from the shade onto the trumpet base and spreads around the lamp as a diffuse glow.

Years of experiments
Louis Poulsen began working with Panton in the 1960s. The Panthella took several years of trials with materials, reflection and colour. Chrome was a bold choice then and mattered a great deal to Panton.

From portable to floor
The 160 and 250 Portables suit bedside tables and dinners outside. The 320 and 400 table lamps sit on sideboards and consoles. The floor lamp lights a reading chair or the corner of a living room.
Materials
- Opal acrylic shade
- Glows across its whole surface while sending most of the light downward.
- Moulded polymer base
- The trumpet form is the second reflector, so keep it dust-free for the best light.
- Integrated LED or socket
- Portables use a built-in LED; the 320 takes an E14 bulb, and the 400 and floor lamps take E27.
Panton was a Danish designer known for bold colour, new materials and a strong sense of form, light and space. He is also known for the Panton Chair and the Cone Chair. Today the Panthella is the only Panton lamp Louis Poulsen produces.
