I have just started to go through the 2020 sketches I got from the latest Pantour. This is the life work of Sten Hermansson who was awarded to be one of the ten best interior designers in Sweden ever. Some of them have Panton designed objects such as fabrics, furnitures, carpets and lamps. So far, […]

SOME PICTURES FROM THE PANTOUR
Here comes some fast mobile pictures from the last trip. First, a cool picture of Verner and one with all Mira-X:s wall-to-wall carpets! This time I collected some fabrics and other pieces but the most interesting part is a set of several thousand sketches with interior designs from the 50-:ies to the 90:ies. They are […]
A COLD PANTOUR
For this road trip, a “Pantour”, I head north in Sweden to collect some items and sketches for Panton inspired environments. You will probably see some quick mobile photos tomorrow sunday afternoon. Here is a quick view of one of the fabrics I have founded. A red “Large Rautka” curtain in velour. Just for the […]
MIRROR SCULPTURES
The “MIRROR SCULPTURES” is now in place. This is a design by Verner Panton from 1965. Verner and Marianne had some large models in their home from this time. The american company BEYLERIAN made a small series of this sculpture in 1974. This is one of those. The whole piece is quite big and heavy, […]
MIRROR SCULPTURES TO PANTONWORLD
Something we have been looking forward to find – a very rare set of MIRROR SCULPTURES designed by Verner Panton 1974.
ANNOYING TWIN BROTHER
… that reads on the diaper changing table when you need it the most. (With a white Lüber SP2 lamp in the background).
– 17 DEGREES CELSIUS
Göteborg is a harbour city with a lot of moist. Yesterday morning we had – 17 degrees celsius outside. All that together makes it very cold. Time to see if the old fireplace still works…
THE PANTONOVA CHAISE LONGUE IN AUBERGINE
Her comes some better pictures of the aubergine PANTONOVA CHAISE LONGUE from the early 70:ies.. The fabric is MIRALASTIC wich was first intended for norweigian ski socks but was then re-discovered by the Mira-X coordinator and used for a lot of Panton furnitures. This elastic fabric was perfect for refurnishing furniture so almost all of […]
BROWN LEDGES IN THE BROWN ROOM
I have just now started to paint some of the floor ledges in the BROWN ROOM. They were white until yesterday. The radiators will also go brown to blend in better. Just some more layers of paint left… I will probably paint the ledges around the door openings as well. You will see more pics […]
NEW PICS OF THE TOPAN LAMPS
First… Here is one TOPAN lamp with a diffuser, no 16571. This one is from 1959. From Louis Poulsens very early catalogue. Here, Verner used 5 of these Topan lamps in a group. Here you can see it in Louis Poulsens own magazine “LP & CO -NYT” from 1972. Then we have another Topan lamp. […]
LUMINOUS WALL ELEMENT
Now, I am pretty convinced that my yellow / blue “WALL ELEMENT” is a prototype for the “LUMINOUS WALL ELEMENT” at the VISIONA 2 exhibition in Cologne 1970. Made for Bayer Chemicals, West Germany. I have a handwritten “certificate” from Marianne Panton that Verner Panton was the creator of my panel and I already knew […]
RARE TOPAN LAMPS
Here is a very early Panton lamp. The Topan lamp with a difusor were only produced 1959. To the left you can also see a Topan lamp with reflector. That one came 1965. In the background you can see a “regular” Topan lamp without a difusor or reflector. There is a really good website about […]
