Verner Panton

Verner Panton (1926-1998) was a danish architect and designer. He began his career in Arne Jacobsen's office.
His first furniture designs in the 50s looked very typical for this time but he soon developed his own style.
The improvement of plastic in the 60s made it possible to realize his designs. He created the first inflatable chair for example.
The colourful furniture and organic shapes fit into the 60s lifestyle and look more like sculptures.
He came up with the new idea of the abolition of traditional structures of a room with walls, ceilings and a floor. Instead he wanted to create one organic room.
