Louis Poulsen Panthella 400 Table Lamp - POU-5744916510

Originally designed in 1971, the Panthella by Louis Poulsen has since become recognized as one of Verner Panton's most significant designs. The recognizable, soft organic shape of the table lamp, combined with the opal white color, is not only beautiful but also functional, providing a pleasant diffused and reflected light. The hemispherical top shade directs light downward, to be reflected by the trumpet shaped base. The Panthella 400 Table Lamp is a popular choice, with its opal white color scheme and the shade with a diameter of 15.7 inches (400 mm).
