In 1968 the students revolts in Paris, Rome and the United States were overthrowing stiff, old values, and initiating the Flower-Power generation of peace, love and harmony. Same year, Stanley Kubrick pictured the future of the year 2001, featuring the Verner Panton Chair, and man was soon to set foot on the moon. In the world of design, a colourful, playful pendant hung in restaurants and exhibitions, and very soon, in everybody’s homes. The FlowerPot with its two semicircular spheres facing each other has long proved its lasting design quality and is just as much a synonym of our time, too. & In his young days, Panton often set off from Copenhagen in an odd looking converted Volkswagen for a trek across Europe, dropping in on fellow designers to share ideas – and good meals

Öice chandelier has a simple, timeless look but creates an extraordinary mood in the room at the same time.Sofie Refer The inspiration behind Sofie Refer’s award-winning Ice Chandelier harks back to the dazzling glass and crystal chandeliers of the past. A clusterof scintillating bulbous pendants, it preserves the lavish appeal of that archetypal luminaire. Yet, Ice Chandelier’s asymmetrical configuration and simple, unembellished glass globes bring its aesthetic right up to date. The chandelier consists of a circular canopy from which nine pendants hang. The halogen light sources emit a soft, ambient light. They are encased by hand-blown glass globes, each of which is unique in its character; evidence of the craftsman’s intervention in the manufacturing process. Ice Chandelier can be made to order for the contract market.

Sometimes the simplest things are the most lasting and memorable, the Topan Pendant being a brilliant example. It was the first mass produced lamp by Verner Panton, later to be followed by the FlowerPot. Topan’s simplicity and coolness proves to be of lasting value. Topan was originally designed for the hotel and restaurant Astoria in Trondheim, Norway, in 1960. Here, Panton used his textile designs Geometry I to IV for floors, walls and ceilings in order to give the room a uniform image. The Topan pendants hung all over, dividing large rooms into smaller and more intimate spaces.
