HAPPY NEW YEAR
Happy new year! This picture comes from the exhibition “Visiona 2” in Cologne 1970. Pretty cool environment! See you in 2016!
LAMP MOVE
The big Typ A lamp is now moved so I can continue the painting of the other half of the room. It goes very slow… But the magenta colour is super in this room. I will also use curtains in the same colour when ready.
POLYTHEMA CATALOGUE
I got a nice present from a fellow Panton collector – A Polythema catalogue with Verners design from the 90:ies.
THIRD LAYER OF PAINT
The third layer of magenta paint is now up. Two more layers to go… And then at least five layers of paint in the other part of the room…

I liked the earlier blue but all other colours on this floor are warm so this probably match better. Unfortunatelly, I know this colour tone needs about five layers to cover properly and I […]
BOBINETTE CURTAINS
A nice pair of “Geometri I” curtains in a “see through” fabric came today. These are also called “Bobinette” after a model who promoted them in 1960:ies. Verner Panton designed these for the danish company Unika Vaev in 1960.
VARNA RESTAURANT 1971
Some other very rare pictures of the Varna Restaurant 1971. This was the main corridor from the entrance. If you have any of the lamps or fabrics, please let me know: niklas@pantonworld.com
