For this road trip, a “Pantour”, I head north in Sweden to collect some items and sketches for Panton inspired environments. You will probably see some quick mobile photos tomorrow sunday afternoon. Here is a quick view of one of the fabrics I have founded. A red “Large Rautka” curtain in velour. Just for the […]

MIRROR SCULPTURES
The “MIRROR SCULPTURES” is now in place. This is a design by Verner Panton from 1965. Verner and Marianne had some large models in their home from this time. The american company BEYLERIAN made a small series of this sculpture in 1974. This is one of those. The whole piece is quite big and heavy, […]
MIRROR SCULPTURES TO PANTONWORLD
Something we have been looking forward to find – a very rare set of MIRROR SCULPTURES designed by Verner Panton 1974.
ANNOYING TWIN BROTHER
… that reads on the diaper changing table when you need it the most. (With a white Lüber SP2 lamp in the background).
– 17 DEGREES CELSIUS
Göteborg is a harbour city with a lot of moist. Yesterday morning we had – 17 degrees celsius outside. All that together makes it very cold. Time to see if the old fireplace still works…
THE PANTONOVA CHAISE LONGUE IN AUBERGINE
Her comes some better pictures of the aubergine PANTONOVA CHAISE LONGUE from the early 70:ies.. The fabric is MIRALASTIC wich was first intended for norweigian ski socks but was then re-discovered by the Mira-X coordinator and used for a lot of Panton furnitures. This elastic fabric was perfect for refurnishing furniture so almost all of […]
BROWN LEDGES IN THE BROWN ROOM
I have just now started to paint some of the floor ledges in the BROWN ROOM. They were white until yesterday. The radiators will also go brown to blend in better. Just some more layers of paint left… I will probably paint the ledges around the door openings as well. You will see more pics […]
LUMINOUS WALL ELEMENT
Now, I am pretty convinced that my yellow / blue “WALL ELEMENT” is a prototype for the “LUMINOUS WALL ELEMENT” at the VISIONA 2 exhibition in Cologne 1970. Made for Bayer Chemicals, West Germany. I have a handwritten “certificate” from Marianne Panton that Verner Panton was the creator of my panel and I already knew […]
RARE TOPAN LAMPS
Here is a very early Panton lamp. The Topan lamp with a difusor were only produced 1959. To the left you can also see a Topan lamp with reflector. That one came 1965. In the background you can see a “regular” Topan lamp without a difusor or reflector. There is a really good website about […]
SKARRIDSØ KITCHEN PANEL
Today I got another blue SKARRIDAN enamel panel from SKARRIDSØ. Verner Panton designed these as kitchen doors in 1980. At last, I have four in the same size. I will probably use these in a formation of four together as a group. By the way, here you can see the whole kitchen: http://www.verner-panton.com/furniture/archive/phase/1172/
SOME REALLY COOL CHAIRS
Two mobile pictures from my professional refurnisher. The aubergine chair now has buttons. He also made some adjustements to make it look perfect! He used my other turquise chaiselongue as a template when refurnished it. Lucilly, I had found original Miralastic fabric covering an old sofa before. I throwed the sofa away but kept the […]
WOW!
This incredible bedspree and pillows are made by Johannes in Germany. He used 4,7 kilometers of threads to make it… I think it is an incredible project! Thanks for sharing this with us Johannes!
