TABLE WIRE LAMP
Also this rare lamp came today. A small table version of the Wire Lamp by J. Lüber.
TOPAN SPOTLIGHT

EMALCO
Another cool thing that arrived today is this heavy enamel broschure holder from the early 70:ies.

EARLY FABRICS
Today two early Verner Panton fabric designs showed up. First we have a “Polette” curtain from Unika Væv 1965. The pattern are inverted when seeing it from behind. The white fabric “En” (means “One”) are made by Vereinigte Werkstätten in München, Germany 1963.

PANTON ADVERTISEMENT
