This version has wooden black and white sections (like the original). It has a screwed in metal plate around the two switches (like the original) and a cleaner top edge (without a plastic protector shield that some versions have)

VP-Europa lamp. 1970s

Verner Panton (Denmark 1926-1998)

VP-Europe lamp. 1977. Manufactured by Louis Poulsen in the late 1970s.

Chromed plastic foot with moulded glass shade. The lamp’s name Europa derives from the series of lighting designed by Verner Panton for the hotel Europa in Lugano.

This large table lamp has a diameter of 48cm and a height of 63cm which is particularly big for a table lamp. The main component is a mouth-blown shade made of clear and frosted glass. The red painted lamp cap produces beautiful light effects within the lamp.

This lamp was only produced over a short period of time which when combined with the complexity of moulding the glass shade make it one of Verner Panton´s most rare and sought-after lamps.

Price: 2,995.00 euro
