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
Another new piece for the Pantonworld collection. Here you can see one of the chairs from the Circus Building in Copenhagen 1980. The upholstery fabric is actually the same as for the older Plus Linje furniture.
Some better pictures of this rare MIRA-X offset print. It measures 62,5 x 62,5 cm with the printed area of 58,5 x 58,5 cm. I have seen this type of print some times but I actually don´t know the story behind it. It is usually framed so it could either be some sort of museum […]

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 […]
I thought you might like some pictures showing the former Panton familly residence in Basel.
It is today the norweigian National Day so here comes a picture from Norway. This very chair (early version of the Wire Cone K2) was a gift from Plus Linje to the owner of the Astoria Hotel in the early 60:ies. The same chair was exhibited at the Myresjö Pavillion in the spring 1960. You […]
Verner Panton´s own gate lamps. They are totally unique and were specially designed by Verner for the house in Binningen between 1972-87. After that, they were replaced with the ones you see in the last picture above (with me in front of the gate). The base is enamelled steel and the large cupole are made […]
