At last I had time to move out the 700 kilos of enamel panels from Salon Rouge out of this aubergine room. They were stored here until I had the energy to lift them one floor up. My back are killing me but this room is a little more relaxing like this!
Panton World Collection
PROTOTYPE FABRICS
Here comes 25 more prototype fabrics from Verner Panton´s home in Binningen, Basel. The design is printed on a semi-transparant fabric. These fabrics are testsprints in context of Verner´s expanded Mira-X collection that was released in 1980. The new collection had 86 colours instead of the original 50 colours he used from 1969/70.

ORANGE ROOM
Just finished painting the orange room after 5 new layers of paint. This colour is much better than the first orange we tried. I will probably put up Ring lamps above the chair.
TURQUOISE ROOM
The turquoise stairway is almost ready painted. I hanged the typ G lamp here as some sort of “altar”.
GEOMETRI FABRIC
This early “Geometri V” fabric arrived today. It is made by Unika Vaev in 1960.
NEW ROOM
The new room are getting better and better. When I took away some wooden panel in this room some days ago, I discovered a lot of cracks that needed to be fixed. Now everything looks much better. I hope to start paint the room within some days.
