Some new pictures. I did a little “cinema” at home with some of the Circus building seats that Verner Panton re-designed in 1984. He used these 6 colours for the furnishing of the seats.

BOLIVIA FABRIC
I have now started to sort out wich seats from the Circus building I will keep and wich seats I will take apart and use fabric from. The Circus building seats have the same furnishing fabric as Verners furniture from Plus Linje. I have been looking for this fabric for a long time. […]
MEDALLION
The next item is another Cirkus Building medallion. The plan is to polish one of them to see if it gets back the shine from 1984.
MORE LAMPS
Two other things that came yesterday. A Pantop wall lamp (30 cm wide) and another white small Pantop pendant lamp (23 cm in diameter) with the original tag. I will use the small lamp together with others to build a cluster of 10 lamps.
BLUE MIRA TULLE
Some new things has arrived. For example a large blue Mira Tülle curtain. I was very lucky regarding the height for it. It hangs some centimeters from the floor. This curtain has a slightly different blue tone than the similar I have since earlier but this gives a better light. The Geometri I […]
JYLLANDS-POSTEN 1978
Today I got an article from Jyllands-Posten the 8:th of march 1978. It says Verner Panton shared a furniture prize with two other architects. Verner´s part was 30 000 DKK and I guess that must have been very good in 1978.
PANTON DESIGN IN DANISH TV
The danish television has a tv-show “Kender du typen” where you shall guess who lives there. I know this guy… This time you can see some Verner Panton design here: https://www.dr.dk/tv/se/kender-du-typen-efterar-2015/kender-du-typen-2-8-5?queryhash=!%2F00%3A00%3A00
EARLY WALL LAMP
When we rebuilt our blue room I had the chance to arrange new electric connections inside the walls. Then this lamp now have a perfect spot. This lamp is one of my favorites even though it is a pretty small object. It is a prototype lamp version for the “floating system” around 1960. The Topan […]
MULTICOLOUR SOFA
A first look at the Circus building chairs when all six colours are put together. Below you see the very same chairs in 1984.
A LOT OF SEATINGS
55 seatings and backrests from Verner’s interior at the Circus building are now carried into the house. The total weight is nearly 600 kilos.
CIRCUS SAFARI
Puah! Just squeezed in a lot of Circus Building seats in the car. Todays “Pantour” was more like a safari than a pick up of Panton items. The seatings have been stored in an old basement for some time. When we opened the doors, a cat ran out of there and you could tell other […]
CURTAIN TEST 3
A new test of curtains for the blue room – “Checkers II” pattern in velour from 1969. I think I like these the best so far. The light goes through them in a cool way. Still need to do something with the floor and also the wiring/hanging of the lamps.
