Another cool thing that arrived today is this heavy enamel broschure holder from the early 70:ies. Emalco was the company who made all Verner Pantons enamel work such as Flowerpot lamps, wall panels, tables and more. Before 1971 the company was named Emaillerie Corgemont so this has to be from when they changed name […]

GLENN WITH TIVOLI CHAIRS
I got sunny regards from Glenn the dog in Switzerland.
PANTON ADVERTISEMENT
These vintage ads for Heart Cone Chairs arrived today. You can see more like this at “Drawings and Posters” under “Collection”.
GREEN HOUSE
Just painted this small garden house in “Verners” green colour. The Panton familly had their summer house in the same tone.
NEW FABRIC TODAY
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 […]
