Panto & VP Globe cleaning kit – Verpan

Verpan's VP Globe pendant lights are another of Verner Panton's iconic creations, designed in 1969 and perfectly illustrating his love of geometric shapes, modern materials and the play of light. Considered one of his most complex and sophisticated works, these luminaires combine futuristic aesthetics with handcrafted precision, making them masterpieces of contemporary interior design.

The VP Globe consists of a transparent acrylic sphere, suspended by three metal chains, inside which are five semicircular reflectors and two smaller discs, all in lacquered or anodized aluminum. These internal elements are arranged with mathematical precision: three white reflectors direct the light downwards, while two others, painted blue and red (or sometimes orange, depending on the version), add a subtle touch of color and diffuse the light laterally. This complex structure is powered by a single bulb (E27, max. 60W or equivalent LED), placed in the center, whose light is reflected and refracted through the sphere, creating a soft yet captivating lighting effect.

The VP Globe's design evokes a miniature of the solar system or a futuristic vision of space, true to Panton's imagination, which often drew on science fiction and cosmic exploration. When switched on, the light interacts with the reflectors, casting delicate shadows and colored reflections on the surrounding surfaces, transforming the space into an immersive experience. Off, it remains an elegant sculpture, whose transparency and curves draw the eye.

This luminaire is particularly well suited to modern spaces - living rooms, dining rooms or entrance halls - where it can be used alone or in pairs for dramatic effect. Verpan, in re-issuing the VP Globe, continues Panton's legacy with meticulous care, using high-quality materials to preserve the designer's original intent. It's a piece that combines art, technology and emotion, embodying Panton's idea that design should stimulate the senses and enrich everyday life.
