Something VERY rare and cool arrived today. Come back later tonight and you will see what is…
Verner Panton
CRAZY COLOURS
Today I framed this prototype “Curve II” fabric. The material is a type of coated fine meshed fabric so the colours become stronger than the serial produced versions in cotton and velour.
SP3
At last I had some time to adjust our SP3 in white to a height of exactly 220 cm (like in the most catalogues). This one was earlier a bit to tall and it didn’t even fit in the new house.
NEW PLACE
There will soon be some super cool addition in the lamp collection so I started to re-arrange the lamps in this room. The Typ A Wonderlamp became much better in this coloured room. The light from the window makes it really amazing.
PANTON AT SIMPSONS
A fellow Panton collector sent me this picture. He was watching an old episode of Simpson and saw the chair in the background. That is the high-back Amoeba Chair from Vitra.
DAHLIA FABRIC
Just framed the “Dahlia” fabric from the Tratto III collection. Next to it, you see the prototype print for another design in the Tratto I collection – The Rose.
TWIN CHAIR
The world’s best furniture for videogames when you are twins, the 3D-carpet from 1969. Here you see some more pictures from the newly painted aubergine and red room at Pantonworld.
SPIEGEL
A little better picture of the Spiegel lamps at Pantonworld.
4 x SPIEGEL LAMPS
It was not easy to get the four Spiegel lamps straight in a formation but here is the first try.
VERNER’S TABLE
SP1 in silver from J. Lüber and Verner’s own prototype wire table in yellow from the late 60:ies/early 70:ies.
PROTOTYPE FABRIC
Another prototype fabric for the collection wich comes from one of Verner Panton´s closest co-worker. The pattern is Verner Panton´s classical pattern “Curve II” but this is printed with a lacque print on a thinner fabric so the colours gets stronger.
SPIEGEL LAMPS
Two out of four Spiegel lamps are now into place. It is kind of tricky to get them correct towards eachother so I will call it a wrap for today and continue tomorrow.
