Panthella Portable 160 & 250 – Design Icon by Louis Poulsen

Panthella Portable 160 & 250: A Design Icon Reimagined for Mobility

Designed by Verner Panton, the Panthella is one of the most iconic creations of Scandinavian lighting design. With the new Panthella 160 Portable and Panthella 250 Portable, Louis Poulsen reinterprets this timeless icon in a freer, more mobile and contemporary version, perfectly aligned with modern lifestyles while remaining true to the original design philosophy.

Four New Opal Colors with a Chrome Base

The new Panthella Portable models are available in Opal Orange, Opal Red, Opal Brown and Opal Green, each paired with a high-gloss chrome base. This refined combination creates a striking contrast between the soft, colored opal shade and the sleek, reflective chrome, giving the lamp a sophisticated and expressive presence. Each color diffuses a warm, atmospheric light that enhances both the space and the mood.

Verner Panton’s Iconic Lighting Design

The Panthella’s lighting principle is as simple as it is brilliant: a hemispherical shade directs the light downward, where it is reflected by the base to create a soft, glare-free and evenly distributed glow. This organic, flowing form transforms the Panthella into more than just a lamp—it becomes a true light sculpture with a timeless and sculptural appeal.

Two Portable Sizes for Versatile Use

The Panthella 160 Portable offers a compact and discreet format, ideal for bedside tables, consoles or small side tables. The Panthella 250 Portable, with its larger proportions, makes a stronger visual statement and is perfectly suited for dining tables, desks or terraces. Both versions share the same refined design language and exceptional light quality, adapting effortlessly to different spaces and uses.
