Panton World Collection
MIRROR BOX
Today about 20 of my Panton pieces came back from a norweigian museum who showed them for some months. They built a really cool display box for the “Luminous Wall Element” prototype in context of Visiona 2. Here are some pictures without the light. It is really crazy to look inside the box. It feels […]
VARNA 1971
Enjoy! Some pictures from the Varna Restaurant near Århus in Denmark 1971.
EARLY FABRIC
The newest Panton fabric in the collection… “EN” from the Universa collection. This series of fabrics was printed by “Vereinigte werkstätten für kunst im handwerk” in 1963.
STEN HERMANSSON INTERIORS
The interior designer Sten Hermansson made a lot of interiors in Sweden from the early 60:ies to the 90:ies. He had the company Cirkel Design Center. From the 60:ies Sten worked with Verner Panton´s design such as furniture from Plus Linje, textiles from Unika Væv and lamps from Louis Poulsen. Later he became the swedish […]
EARLY SPIEGEL LAMP
Here comes the other Panton piece I picked up yesterday. This early version Spiegel Lamp is made out of steel and was made in 1968. It is the same material as in the lamps at Der Spiegel publishing house. Some other cool details are the original Louis Poulsen mounting and electric plug with a switch. […]
NEW PANTONWORLD
As you probably noticed I haven´t updated the blog as much as earlier and the reason is that we are moving within some weeks. The new house was made in 1967 and it has all the interior in original condition. It needs a little fixing but will be very cool when done. Especially with Panton´s […]
PANTOFLEX
A new chair for the kids arrived today. Verner Panton designed this “PantoSwing MM” together with other models in the Pantoflex series 1994. Verner´s cooperation with Vereinigte Spezialmöbelfabriken covered the years 1993-1998.
OPTIK CARPET
A new Verner Panton carpet in the Pantoworld collection. Here comes a really rare “Optik Carpet” from 1969. I have only seen it once in a picture from Verner Panton´s home around 1971. The measurements are 137 x 137 cm and I beleive Unika Vaev was the manufacturer due to the similar technique of these […]
EARLY BACHELOR CHAIRS
Today this early pair of Bachelor Chairs arrived too. I have never seen this canvas / pattern for these earlier. The previous owners told me they had them like this since the begining of the 60:ies, maybe even earlier. The cushions are very dry but everything is in very good condition except that. We have […]
1-2-3 FOOT STOOL
Some new pieces arrived today. First this custom made foot stool from the 1-2-3 series in 1973. I have never seen anything like this before. I have the lounge chair for it since earlier.
VARNA 1971
I have now got some of the old slides from the Mira-X agent, converted into digital pictures. Here is one picture from 1971 wich shows the Varna Restaurant in Århus, Denmark. I want the blue enamel panels… Where are you?!
