Description

Moon table lamp designed by Verner Panton for Danalight, Denmark, 1990s.

An iconic table lamp in the futuristic Space Age aesthetic. The object is made of metal and plastic.
The main spherical form consists of a set of movable, ring-shaped slats in milky white, suspended on a metal axis. The structure is based on a stable, round base with a vertical arm and a semi-circular stabilising bracket.
This fan-like, cascading arrangement of slats gives the shade a distinctive, modular and sculptural aesthetic. The movable rings allow the geometry of the lamp to be adjusted freely, optimising the diffusion of light and the degree to which the bulb is shielded.

Verner Panton (1926–1998) was one of the most influential and avant-garde Danish designers of the 20th century, revolutionising post-war design. He was known for his unconventional approach to form and colour, while his futuristic, pop-art designs using plastics became enduring icons of the Space Age style.

The item has natural signs of use. Original manufacturer markings may be present on a structural component or the wiring.
