Louis Poulsen Panthella 500 V3 Floor Lamp

Louis Poulsen Panthella 500 V3 Floor Lamp follows Verner Panton's original 1971 lighting principle, with both the hemispherical shade and trumpet-shaped stem contributing to the reflected light. The high-gloss Opal White acrylic shade diffuses light through its translucent surface while directing illumination downwards, creating the glare-free, soft, and comfortable light associated with the Panthella collection.

The larger floor format works naturally beside a sofa or armchair, in a living room corner, or as a softer source of light within a bedroom or home office. Its rounded shade spreads diffused light while the stem reflects illumination back into the room, allowing the Panthella to provide atmospheric lighting without exposing the light source directly. Louis Poulsen also recommends the floor lamp for reading, with the choice of lamp allowing the colour temperature to be adjusted to suit the setting. 

For V3, Louis Poulsen has matched the white finish with the rest of the Panthella collection and reduced the shadow beneath the top nut. The socket housing and base have also been updated for better mechanical strength and UV resistance, with a new silicone rubber bottom plate fitted underneath. The lamp is operated using the floor switch on the white cable and is best suited to living rooms, bedrooms, reading areas, and home offices.
