Visit product page →Unveiled in 1971, the Panthella Table Lamp is a Danish design classic. Created by Verner Panton in partnership with lighting manufacturer Louis Poulsen, the light is instantly recognisable by its distinctive silhouette and warm glow.
Panton's intention for the Panthella was to create a light where the stand and the shade served as a reflector, casting a soft and ambient light around the room. This is heightened by the Dane's signature use of an organic, curved shape, with clean lines intersecting one another to create glare-free light refraction.
The domed shade and base of the lamp are manufactured in plastic and the stem, steel.
This lamp has a newly fitted UK plug and was PAT tested in March 2023.

Armchair by Illum Wikkelsø for Niels Eilersen Model No.4 Capella, Denmark - 2 available
£1,000.00
Visit product page →We have restored the beautiful frame of this easy chair by Illum Wikkelsø, the teak retains a rich colour. The cushions are new, we have upholstered them in a cream, pure wool boucle by Bute Fabrics.
In the late 1950s, as a profit from cutting, large quantities of cheap teak wood (in the size 1x2x24 inches) came onto the world market. Wikkelsø and Eilersen used these to make the Capella range of furniture. For example. the armrests are made in the same way as a cricket bat; two pieces are glued to the top of the armpit. The chair is part of a modular program where chairs could be assembled into sofas of infinite length.
Please contact us if you would like to view these chairs in our St Albans studio.
The chairs are priced individually, but are a matching pair.

Ole Wanscher (1903-1985) studied under Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and later worked at Klint’s design studio before becoming an independent furniture designer. He helped shape Danish furniture design as a designer and as an educator when he took over Klint’s professorship at the Academy.
Wanscher’s classic and contemporary designs made him popular. In 1958, the Danish newspaper Politiken wrote: “Owning a Wanscher chair is an adventure every day, and will be so even several hundred years from now, for this is how long it lasts”. Today, his modern classics are still revered for their detail and his deep respect for materials.
Wanscher viewed furniture design as a branch of architecture and emphasised slim dimensions and resilient forms. Creating his best-known designs between the late 1940s and early 1960s, in the post-war era when the “design for all” philosophy emerged. In Denmark, some of design’s biggest names created functional and affordable furniture for the Danish people and the small spaces they lived in. Wanscher took great interest in industrially produced yet high-quality furniture, designing several successful pieces.
Wanscher was awarded the Copenhagen Carpenters’ Guild Annual Award and the gold medal at the Milan Triennale in 1960
