	Verner Panton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Verner Panton (13 February 1926 - 5 September 1998) is considered to be one of Denmark's most influential 20th-century furniture and interior designers.
		Panton was trained as architectural engineer in Odense; next, he studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Art (Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi) in Copenhagen.
		In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Verner Panton experimented with designing entire environments: radical and psychedelic interiors that were an ensemble of his curved furniture, wall upholsterings, textiles and lighting.

	Verner Panton: Living Environments
		Panton was one of the first designers to consider each aspect of a domestic space as an entire living environment and made exceedingly bold moves for the time with his use of color, texture and spatial relationships.
		Panton’s almost obsessive attention to detail in the textiles, lighting, furniture shapes and his flamboyant use of color made his environments an experience of complete immersion.
		Panton employed chandeliers created from shells, spiral pieces of plastic, foam and plastic balls and plastic panels to create a landscape of lighting that became one of the strongest architectural elements within the space.

		With roots in traditional Danish design Verner Panton (1926-98), the "enfant terrible" of Danish design history, went in the opposite direction of most of his Danish colleagues who were strongly influenced by traditional crafts.
		Panton's legendary interior design projects can be seen as the zenith of his work, as the synthesis of his complete oeuvre.
		Panton's architectural work is clearly overshadowed by his oeuvre as a designer; it was only in the beginning of his career that he was able to carry out a number of minor projects.

		To Verner, both themes, light and color, were of major importance, and he devoted much of his time to study their effect and use.

	Scandinavian Review: Verner Panton: Fantasies in form
		Panton's declared purpose was "to encourage people to use their fantasy and make their surroundings more exciting." In this respect he had more in common with leading Italian designers than with his fellow Danes.
		Panton was inspired by the concept of deploying color "to cause vibrations in the soul" (as the Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky put it in his 1911 essay, "Concerning the Spiritual in Art").
		Panton's design style was especially well suited to the interiors of restaurants, bars, office buildings, and entertainment venues, as exemplified by projects such as the "Spiegelhaus" newspaper offices in Hamburg (1969), "Restaurant Varna" in Aarhus (1970), and Cirkusbygningen" (the Circus Building) in Copenhagen (1984).
