If you’re looking for creative ways to illuminate your spaces, check out Louis Poulsen’s latest release: the Panthella 160 Portable, now available in 13 striking colors.
First introduced in 2021, the Panthella 160 Portable reimagines the original Panthella table lamp—designed by renowned Danish architect and designer Verner Panton in 1971—as a compact, rechargeable model. Its cordless design allows you to easily move it from room to room, brightening your favorite spaces with ease.
The original Panthella table lamp featured a translucent opal white shade. The latest edition expands the palette with a range of colors—from soft shades like rose and beige to bold hues like orange, yellow, and blue. This series also comes in various finishes, including chrome, opal, and opaque.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Panthella 160 Portable delivers exceptional functionality. A touch-activated button at the top lets users effortlessly adjust brightness or turn the lamp on and off with a simple tap. Meanwhile, its glare-free, sculptural glow provides illumination that is easy on the eyes.
The Panthella Playground
From March 28 to 30, the focus_ concept showroom was transformed into the Panthella Playground—an interactive space showcasing Louis Poulsen’s Panthella 160 Portable lamps and Panthella table lamps while inviting guests to engage in nostalgic, fun activities.
Guests tested their luck at the claw machine for a chance to win exciting prizes from Focus Global. They also indulged in childhood favorites from the popcorn and cotton candy booths. To capture the moment, visitors could have their photos taken at a retro-inspired photo booth.
