The Spiegel lamp came into prominence as part of Verner Pantons total interior design for Der Spiegel Publishing House in Hamburg, 1969. This large quadratic lamp showcases a unique architectural aesthetic with a circular indentation in its core that discreetly houses the light source. Over this is a hemispheric shade that brilliantly refracts and mutes the light, eliminating harsh glare. Panton's creation of the Spiegel lamp is a remarkable fusion of architecture and sculpture, serving not just as a practical lighting fixture, but also a breathtaking piece of art that provides gentle ambient illumination.
