Verner Panton 1926-1998
Verner Panton was one of the mos influential designers of the 1960s and '70s. Born in Denmark, Panton relocated to Switzerland in the early 1960s. He become known for his original and imaginative designs in the fields of furniture, lighting and textiles. In addition to his expirements with shape and colou, Verner Panton was ethusiastic about the design potential of plastic a new material at the time. One of his ambitions was to create a comfortable, all-purpase plastic chair moulded in a single piece.
I enjoyed looking through this designer as he not only designed furniture, but he was an interior designer which I am intrested in. His project are really different and unique as I never seen this kind of work. He used curve spahes and bright colours. I might use Verner Panton as a inspiration for my final piece.
