Panthella MINI is a smaller version of Verner Panton’s classic Panthella lamp from 1971.

Verner Panton originally developed the Panthella in partnership with Louis Poulsen in 1971. His idea was to have Panthella launched with a metal shade, but this was not possible from a technological perspective at that time. What is launched in 2016 is based on Verner Panton’s original drawings.

Panthella MINI features three light intensities and the latest LED technology. The new metal shades are white on the inside and direct the light downwards, from where it is reflected up and out into the room from the trumpet-shaped foot.

Louis Poulsen has chosen the new colours for the Panthella MINI from the spectrum that Verner Panton himself had selected for the remarkable universe that was 'Lyset og Farven' ('Light and Colour'), an exhibition hosted at Trapholt Museum of Modern Art in Kolding, Denmark.

Panthella MINI has painted metal shades in eight eye-catching colours from Verner Panton’s own colour spectrum. Additionally, Panthella MINI is available in white, black and opal acrylic.

Louis Poulsen’s miniature version of Verner Panton’s iconic Panthella measures 250mm in diameter, while the original version from 1971 measured 400 mm.

The Panthella is also still available as a table lamp in the original size,  as a floor lamp in opal white and as a portable lamp.
