Verner Panton

Verner Panton started out as a painter before studying architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. After an apprenticeship with architect/designer Arne Jacobsen, Panton moved into furniture and interior design, where he became famous for his avant-garde creations. These included legless chairs and a sofa set vertically against the wall. In the 60's and 70's, his passion for designing entire environments led to immersive interiors featuring his hypnotic patterns and futuristic designs for furniture, lighting, wallpapers, posters and carpets.

Panton's innovative use of materials, colors and shapes earned him a reputation as a visionary. In 1998, the Queen of Denmark awarded him the Knight's Cross of the Order of Dannebrog in recognition of his achievements.

The Flower Pot lamp became an emblem of the Flower Power peace movement in the 1960s. With its range of bright colors, it is just as synonymous with modernity as when it was launched in 1968. Panton's Topan lamp is its little sister, a simple half-sphere that can also be configured in groups. "Panton's provocative use of materials, geometric shapes and psychedelic colors set him apart,” notes Martin Kornbek Hansen. “Our &tradition product catalog wouldn't be complete without this endearing example of this radical design evangelist.
