Verner Panton
Undisputed one of the greatest Danish, and internationally
renowned designers of the 20th Century. Verner Panton
(Gamtofte, February 13, 1926 – Copenhagen, September 5,
1998) made colour his expressive tool more than any other
designer of the of his time.
He traversed the second half of the century illuminating it
with his peculiar creative energy, expressed through
pure geometric forms, organic lines, and decisive and precise
chromatics, which he researched sysmatically
and extensively.
Alongside iconic and timeless object designs, such as
the Panton chair and the Panthella lamp, Panton embraced
rebellious research projects, like the Visiona 0 and Visiona II
installations, created for Bayer in Cologne (1968-70)
displaying an immersive and total conception of interiors.
