This is probably the most difficult move I have ever done… Our aubergine room will be rebuilt so I moved some things to the attic. The Living Tower was separated into two parts and there was about 1 cm on each side to lift it up through the stairway – after I removed the […]

TABLE WIRE LAMP
Also this rare lamp came today. A small table version of the Wire Lamp by J. Lüber.
TOPAN SPOTLIGHT
Two lamps showed up today. First up is this special spotlight version of the Topan lamp from Louis Poulsen. You can adjust the angle of light by a special mounting on top of the lamp. Very cool!
DER SPIEGEL TABLE COVER
Today I got a souvenir from the book shop at Der Spiegel publishing house at their original location. It is a kind of table cover that you should put on a round table to get a similar table as the ones at Der Spiegel kantine. It measures 70 cm in diameter. The previous owner bought […]
EMALCO
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 […]
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.
GLENN WITH TIVOLI CHAIRS
I got sunny regards from Glenn the dog in Switzerland.
GREEN HOUSE
Just painted this small garden house in “Verners” green colour. The Panton familly had their summer house in the same tone.
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
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.
