The Panthella Mini lampis a scaled-down version of the famous Panthella, created by Verner Panton in 1971. Verner Panton wanted to create a lamp whose base and shade acted as a reflector, combining the whole with the organic shapes for which the Danish designer is renowned. With its non-glare lighting, the Panthella Mini by Louis Poulsen is a superb example of Verner Panton's exceptional talent for creating atmospheric lighting. Its smaller size, with a compact diameter of 250 mm and a height of just 335 mm, means it can easily be placed on a window sill, shelf, table or other small surface. The luminaire emits a soft, muted light. The metal version directs light directly downwards, creating a soft, comfortable glow thanks to the white-painted shade inside and the reflective effect of its trumpet-shaped base. The acrylic version diffuses a comfortable atmosphere of light thanks to its colour and internal shade that reflects the light downwards.

Born in 1926 in Gamtofte, Denmark, Verner Panton attended technical school in Odense and then studied architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Verner Pantonwas employed in Arne Jacobsen's architectural practice and founded his own architecture and design studio in 1955. Verner Panton's furniture based on geometric shapes, manufactured by the "Plus-linje" company brought him public attention for the first time. Verner Panton's predilection for bright colours and geometric shapes is evident in his many textile creations, such as the cushions in the "Textiles of the 20th Century" collection. His interior designs, aimed at blending furniture, lighting, textiles and wall panels into an indivisible unit, are legendary. Verner Panton's famous collaboration with Vitra began in the early 1960s. He then developed his most famous creation, the Panton chair, presented in 1967. It is also the first product to be manufactured by Vitra on its own account. Verner Panton died in 1998 in Copenhagen. Regarded today as one of the most influential masters in the world of 20th-century Design, Verner Panton leaves behind an innovative, futuristic style using mainly brightly coloured plastic and favouring generous, atypical shapes, such as his iconic luminaires published by Verpan. Today, the iconic designs of Verner Panton are still in great demand.

LOUIS POULSEN
Danish brand Louis Poulsen was founded in 1874, originating from traditional Scandinavian design where form follows function. Louis Poulsen became the owner of the company in 1906 after the death of his uncle, Ludvig R. Poulsen. Louis Poulsen’s approach to architectural development began when he collaborated with one of the world’s leading lighting designers, Poul Henningsen. In 1924, the designer began collaborating with Louis Poulsen lighting; their objective was to take part in the "International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts". In 1925 the collaboration proved successful and the Poul Henningsen lamps won the gold medal. Following this victory, the two men marketed their products in France, England and Denmark.
