Story
From the 1971 Panthella
The Panthella lamp of 1971 is one of the most popular lamps by the designer and architect Verner Panton (1926-1998). When the Panthella designs first appeared, Panton gave them a translucent opal shade. That original finish was later reintroduced and combined with new materials, which gave the Panthella an elegant, contemporary look.
Soft light
The opal shade gives a diffused, comfortable light because it is translucent and because the light is reflected downward.
