Design by Verner Panton
Among the giants of Danish design, Verner Panton (1926-1998) established a unique reputation for his exuberant originality and tireless experimentation. Panton created lamps, furniture and textiles – and was also a sought-after interior designer. Although he was at the forefront of mid-century Danish Modernism, Panton's contribution was anything but mainstream. He enthusiastically embraced new materials, made use of a bold color palette and imbued many of his sculptural creations with a strong graphic and playful expression – without ever compromising quality or finish. Panton's iconic designs have emerged as classics of contemporary design – surprisingly inventive now as they were 50 years ago.
