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.
PANTON IN DANISH TV
Verner Panton – et dansk ikon | TV | DR https://www.dr.dk/tv/se/verner-panton/verner-panton-et-dansk-ikon WOW! This was really a cool reportage about the one and only – Verner Panton. It is over 40 minutes long.
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.
SPECIAL TOPAN LAMPS
I happend to see these cool lamps the other day. 20 pieces of early Topan lamps specially made for ceilings. Very cool! Also the enamel panels and the ceiling were pretty cool.
PYRAMIDS
These pieces fit pretty good together.
COINCIDENCE?
This was kind of strange to be a coincidence. The drawing is from Verners co-worker 1960 and the lamp is a prototype made by Verner Panton and probably the same co-worker 32 years later in 1992. The colours are identical.
