Louis Poulsen is still producing one of Verner Panton’s greatest successes, Panthella – a lamp, which has achieved a cult-like status and fits right in with the retro trend.

Panthella is a reflection of the organic mode of expression, which is so characteristic for Verner Panton.

The lamp, which is formed like a toadstool, is a sculpture in itself.

The light source is hidden under a milky-white, hemispherical-formed acrylic shade and a white lacquered trumpet-like foot contributes to a beautiful distribution of the light.

Panthella has a couple of unique details; a chrome ball is placed on the top which must be removed when replacing the bulb, and at the base of the fixture up to 1.5m of cable can be stored so that unused wiring can be hidden away.

The Panthella comes in white only and is available as a floor or table lamp.

The floor version retails at £508 and the table lamp is £388.00.

Louise Campbell’s pendant light Collage now has a little sister - Collage 450. The large version changes its name to Collage 600.

The new size is fine-tuned to maintain balance and harmony and Collage 450 is perfect on its own or suspended in repetition in indoor environments.

Collage 450 is not merely a smaller version of Collage 600; it is a newly designed version, having in many ways been optimised, so that, for instance, mounting is easier.

Collage 450 is suitable for energy-saving lamps and also available in a professional version with a HIT light source.

It is available in the same colours as Collage 600: Snow White (white), Hot Lips (pink), Juicy Orange (orange), Lemon Yellow (yellow) and finally Smoke Screen (smoke-coloured).

Concept
The Collage Pendant creates atmosphere and is at the same time changeable. The pattern which is staggered on the shades made out of three layers of acrylic gives the fixture an almost endless row of combinations of patterns.

New experiences are made when shades and light come alive and changeable through the patterns. The refraction of the light is controlled - and yet still uncontrolled.

Collage 450 pendant retails at £575.00 in white and £625.00 in colours.

Collage 600 pendant retails at £745.00 in white and £845.00 in colours.

The creative potential of good lighting cannot be overestimated, particularly in the darker winter months.

Effective, efficient lighting has the power to transform your home, defining and improving perception of space, highlighting design schemes and creating atmosphere and interest.

“Always use a good mixture of ambient, task and accent lighting and if possible consider your scheme at planning stages to maximise opportunities” comments Peter Bowles, founder and designer, Original BTC.

Use wall rather than table lights in small bedrooms to avoid cluttered surfaces

Hang pendants low over dining tables or sofas to create dramatic or intimate seating ‘zones’.

Lights that can be moved, adjusted or angled can effectively control direction or spread of light.

Clip-on lamps are an immediate solution to help illuminate favourite areas or supplement natural light.

Consider materials and function –bone china gives a gentle, ambient glow, prismatic glass exaggerates and intensifies light, while aluminium or other metals bring a more industrial flavour and greater visual impact.

Whether you’re working or reading, a good desk light is essential to help prevent eye strain.
Flexible arms are key for effective positioning, but aesthetics also play a huge part; make sure you choose something you really love as it will encourage you to stay at your desk longer!

Featured here is The Stanley Range:

• Hand-spun in Birmingham, the Stanley pendant is offered in solid brass, solid copper or solid brass nickel plated.

• Available in a hammered or smooth, reflective finish; group together for dramatic effect or mix metals for a laid-back, eclectic look.

Established in 1990, Original BTC manufactures relaxed, familiar lighting for traditional and contemporary homes.
Hand-assembled in Oxford from the finest aluminium, chrome and bone china, this essential collection of table, floor, wall and pendant lights is instantly comfortable, unassumingly elegant and accessibly priced.
