The Compact Panthella

The Panthella 160 Portable is the most compact expression of Verner Panton's celebrated Panthella design - scaled down to 160mm to sit comfortably on a bedside table, desk, or dining surface, and light enough to take outside to a balcony or terrace. Its curved shade and trumpet-shaped base work together to soften the light. Opal shades glow gently through their surface, while opaque finishes direct light down onto the reflective base.

Available in a wide range of opal and opaque finishes, the Panthella 160 Portable adapts to almost any interior without losing its sculptural identity. A touch switch on the top nut steps through 10%, 33%, and 100% brightness. A medium press turns the light off, while a long press locks or unlocks the controls. A white indicator light on the base shows when charging is in progress.

The IP44-rated lamp can accompany you outdoors for an evening on the terrace or balcony. Bring it back indoors after use rather than leaving it outside permanently.

Please note: the Panthella 160 Portable comes with a USB-C cable but without an adapter. A standard USB adapter (min. 1.5A) is required for charging.
