The fantastic lamp I will never learn how to spell without checking it up – The “Dodecahedron”. This serie of 12-sided lamps were originally designed for Verner Panton´s retrospective exhibition at the Trapholt museum 1998. Now you can see them and much more at the new Trapholt exhibition ” Verner Panton – Colouring a new […]

HISTORICAL PIECES FROM VARNA 1970/71
Here you see some old and very cool Verner Panton decorations from the Varna restaurant in Århus. They come from the master painter who also was responsible to put up the decorations at the time. Besides this big pile of 151 shiny ”Tapetenplakate” (wallpaper posters) the painter also left 13 photos together with several drawings […]
BACHELOR CHAIRS

OLD SPIEGEL LAMPS
Love those Spiegel lamps from 1968…
“COLLECTION P” TABLE
Another ”new” heavy and rare table arrived yesterday…This time a 40 years old ”floating” marble table ”P4635” from the ”Collection P”.The table measures 46 cm in diameter and the total height is 35 cm so it’s quite small but in the same time easy to place.Manufacturer: Artline Wohndecor in Germany 1981.
PRE-VERSION ILUMESA
Wohoo! I was contacted by a nice man who said he most likely had a red Ilumesa light table from the ”Visiona 2” exhibition 1970.He bought it from a german dealer 15 years ago who claimed he got it from a person that took it right out from the exhibition. It’s not easy to know […]
SIXS
The design ”SEXS” (six in danish) from the Universa collection was one of the few textile designs Verner did that was not for Unika Vaev or Mira-X. The Universa collection was printed by ”Vereinigte Werkstätten für Kunst im handwerk” in Munchen 1963.I have this design in turquoise/white tones and blue/red tones since earlier but no […]
QUICK FIRST PICTURE
A quick first picture of the latest addition to the collection I’ve had several Ilumesa tables through the years but this one breaks it all… I will tell you more soon!
ANATOMIE LIPS IN ORANGE
Never expected to see this Anatomic series ”Mouth” / ”Lips” textile in orange! Usually when you see these rare printed textiles with this pattern, they are red. It’s actually also the first time I see this textile design with a paper tag from the original manufacturer Poul Boheim too. It comes from a person who […]
BLUE
Hmm, what’s wrong with this picture?
1961
The ”black issue” of the Mobila magazine from august 1961 shows almost the whole range of Verner Panton’s early design from Plus Linje and Unika Væv. Most of the design you see there were prototypes when they took those pictures. For example the ultra cool ”Trumpet Chair” – T6.One example of that chair is now […]
