The designer and architect Verner Panton (1926-1998) created Panthella together with Louis Poulsen in 1971. Panton’s figurative and playful design radiates his larger than life personality. Without compromising on quality or functionality, the world-renowned Dane continued to develop new materials for the colourful and captivating spaces that he created out of his enticing designs. Panthella stands out as one of Panton’s most significant design icons with its organic shape that mirrors the softest of light. Panton intended to create a light where both the stand and the shade served as a reflector, combining it with the organic shapes the Danish designer is known for. With its non-glaring light, Panthella serves as a beautiful example of Verner Panton’s brilliant sense of creating atmospheric illumination.
Louis Poulsen
Established in 1874, Louis Poulsen has a long-standing heritage working with world renowned Danish designers to design and produce iconic products. Their impressive product portfolio spans indoor, outdoor and architectural lighting, designed by both heritage designers such as Poul Henningsen, Arne Jacobsen, Verner Panton and Vilhelm Lauritzen, as well as leading contemporary designers such as Christian Flindt, Shoichi Uchiyama and Anne Boysen. With headquarters in Copenhagen and production facilities in Vejen, Denmark, Louis Poulsen stay close to their roots in Danish design, while having grown to become an internationally acclaimed luxury lighting Brand, with a global distribution network.
Verner Panton
Verner Panton, born in Gamtofte in 1928, was a Danish designer and architect. Already an established artist in Odense, he began studying architecture at the Copenhagen Academy of Fine Arts. After graduating from high school in 1951, he worked in Arne Jacobsen's studio, before starting his own business a few years later. Panton is remembered for his innovative design and architecture proposals, such as the Cardboard House and the Plastic House (1960) or his chairs without legs and backs, such as the Panton Chair, launched by Vitra in 1967 and then subsequently as a re-edition in the nineties. He died in Copenhagen in 1998.
