Here I will post some pictures of the re-painting of the Multicolour / Aubergine room. The colour is super matte aubergine. This strong colour tone needs a lot of layers to be perfectly covered. Luckilly, my lokal paint store FLÜGGER FÄRG at Järntorget in Göteborg now sponsor me a bit with paint after a lot […]

PANTON IN BERLIN
Today I got two pictures from Berlin. They show an ongoing exhibition “Textile” at the gallery “Hans-Peter Jochum”. In this exhibition they have a Panton fabric in velour. First I thought it was going to be more from Panton but this was the only piece from him. Anyway, thanks for the picture! You know who […]
READY FOR PAINTING
Everything is now ready for painting the ceiling and walls in strong aubergine colour. Exact the same tone as Verner Panton used in his design. You can see the difference between the tones at the wall and the test cardboard under the Living Tower. In the first picture, on the wall you can see where […]
REPAINTING THE MULTICOLOUR ROOM
The MULTICOLOUR ROOM is getting more and more empty. I will paint the ceiling and the walls in the same strong aubergine colour as we already have in the AUBERGINE ROOM. The old aubergine colour in this room was a bit too light and cold compared to the one that is coming. Also, the colour […]

TWO NEW PICTURES
I will soon try to update some pictures from my rooms but that is not easy. Since we have a new born boy plus the 2 year old twins, our time is not really there. Also I have repainted the exterior of the house and almost finished the reparation of the kitchen. Then my usual […]
THE CONE TABLE IS READY
After many hours of work I have now managed to get all the white paint from the table. This early table from Plus Linje was made 1959/60. After that, these tables had four legs in the crossfoot instead of three.
THE TABLE CLEANING
The table is getting better and better. The edges are now without paint and the plate will soon be clean from paint. It was very good to use a razorblade and a heating machine for the large areas of paint. Then I did a small test with a rubber to take away some small rest. […]
REMOVING PAINT
After some hours with razorblade and a heating pistol… The white paint is not original so therefor I will try remove the paint with razorblade and some heat… A lot of work but probably worth it!
