Panton and light
Verner Panton had an intuitive sense of light and colour, and how the two interacts to shape a space.
Just like his furniture, his lighting designs were equally bold and innovative, and often aesthetically fully integrated into his interior projects – covering the entire ceiling, hidden inside sculptures, or built into the wall.
The first Panthella
Panthella Floor exhibited together with Verner Panton designs.
In 1971 Verner Panton designed the Panthella lamp, which Louis Poulsen then put into production in five vibrant colours and chrome stands as well as white.
The colours, the jazzy structure of the trumpet stand, the synthetic materials, and even the way the lamp itself served as a reflector made it a groundbreaking lighting design.
But despite its boldness, the Panthella offered a comforting warm ambience, demonstrating Panton’s vision of supporting emotional wellbeing through great design.
