Mid-century icon: "vp globe," a sphere composed of two pmma half-shells with an internal landscape of aluminum deflectors and a chrome-plated lower end. Soft, enveloping light. iconic "vp globe" pendant designed by verner panton in 1969 for louis poulsen (first production piece, early 1970s). The transparent pmma sphere is composed of two half-shells joined at the equator; inside, panton's micro-landscape of light unfolds: a sequence of aluminum deflectors with rolled edges—blue at the top and red at the bottom—suspended by metal chains, with a polished hourglass-shaped reflector at the center. The e27 lamp holder is positioned in the center: the light is not direct but bounces off the deflectors, offering a soft, enveloping emission. A lower spherical endpiece and a chrome-plated central stem complete the structure; the ceiling rose and wiring are from the period. Original, working electrical system. good condition.
