Originally created in 1971 by renowned Danish designer Verner Panton, the Panthella lamp has long been celebrated for its sculptural form and soft, diffused light. The newly reimagined portable version has retained its iconic silhouette while offering enhanced convenience, allowing it to be effortlessly integrated into everyday routines.
In its announcement, Esquire referred to the lamp as one of their "sneaky favourites," highlighting its understated impact and stating: 'Until we had this little thing, we didn't realise it needed to be a part of our daily routine.' The publication commended the design's enduring relevance and praised how the portable version captures the spirit of the original while adapting seamlessly to contemporary living.
With its compact form and rechargeable functionality, the Panthella 160 Portable is suited to a range of environments, from bedside tables to outdoor terraces, offering both style and practicality without compromise. The recognition by Esquire further cements its position as a standout piece in modern interior design.
