Fantastic vintage design classic from Denmark.
The “Flowerpot” is a design that designer Verner Panton made in 1968 for Louis Poulsen. This lamp is original from that time, before it was made by "& Tradition".
Verner Panton (Danish, 1926–1998) was an influential furniture and interior designer. Born on the island of Funen in Denmark, Panton studied architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. After graduating in 1951, he served as an apprentice to pioneering Functionalist designer Arne Jacobsen, assisting him in the execution of the iconic Ant Chair. Although influenced by Jacobsen’s organic style, Panton initially established himself as an avant-garde designer, creating furniture based on elaborate geometric shapes, using strong colors.
In the years after establishing his own firm in 1955, Panton attracted a great deal of controversy with his new architectural concepts. In 1958, he shocked audiences and critics with work presented as part of the Applied Art show at the Fredericia Furniture Fair, displaying the furniture by hanging it from the ceiling.
The hanging lamp has a orange enamel coating. The lower “cap” creates a warm indirect glow.
The lamp and the enamel are in very good condition. In addition, the lamp is equipped with new wiring for immediate and safe use.
