This showed up today. The biggest version of the “Circle” fabric in multicolour. Really a nice fabric and this was what I needed to have all the different Mira Spectrum fabrics in the biggest pattern in multicolour as framed fabrics.

CIRCUS BUILDING LAMPS
A friend just picked up these four Pan-Top lamps from 1980. The thing that makes these lamps very special are the colours. It also tells where they have been. There were no serial produced yellow or pink lamps like this. The only place that had these special coloured lamps was the Circus building in […]
THE CURTAINS ARE READY
Here comes a first view of the seven ready sewn curtains. I got them back from the sewing lady today and she really did a great work when she made them shorter. It was not an eask task when each piece was 350 x 290 cm:s and the fabric was very slippery. More pictures […]
NIGHTCLUB FIRE 1970
Here are the tragical reason why you don’t see many of J. Lübers plastic lamps or interior nowerdays. It was forbidden from 1974 to use this type of plastic in public interior designs due to a horrible fire where 142 young people were killed in a night club near Grenoble in France 1970. http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/november/1/newsid_2537000/2537937.stm http://history-is-made-at-night.blogspot.se/2013/05/nightclub-fires-1970-and-2013.html?m=1
CIRCUS BUILDING CHAIR
Another new piece for the Pantonworld collection. Here you can see one of the chairs from the Circus Building in Copenhagen 1980. The upholstery fabric is actually the same as for the older Plus Linje furniture.
OFFSET PRINT
Some better pictures of this rare MIRA-X offset print. It measures 62,5 x 62,5 cm with the printed area of 58,5 x 58,5 cm. I have seen this type of print some times but I actually don´t know the story behind it. It is usually framed so it could either be some sort of museum […]
RARE PRINT
This rare Verner Panton offset print came today. It is mounted in a broken frame but the print it self seems to be in good condition. The pattern is from Verners design for Mira-X 1969 and shows kvadrats in different sizes and colours. The size of the print is 62,5 x 62,5 cm.

17 CARPETS
Today I worked at a fair in Göteborg. When it ended I realised they were going to throw away 400 square meters of red wall-to-wall carpet. I was lucky to get the best pieces from their red carpet but also two blue, three black and four grey carpets. In total I got 17 carpets […]
BINNNINGEN VILLA
I thought you might like some pictures showing the former Panton familly residence in Basel.
CONGRATULATIONS NORWAY
It is today the norweigian National Day so here comes a picture from Norway. This very chair (early version of the Wire Cone K2) was a gift from Plus Linje to the owner of the Astoria Hotel in the early 60:ies. The same chair was exhibited at the Myresjö Pavillion in the spring 1960. You […]
PANTON GATE LAMPS
Verner Panton´s own gate lamps. They are totally unique and were specially designed by Verner for the house in Binningen between 1972-87. After that, they were replaced with the ones you see in the last picture above (with me in front of the gate). The base is enamelled steel and the large cupole are made […]
