Verner Panton - Designer

One Designer i have come across while searching for Interior Designers is Verner Panton and he has become one of my favourites. Born 13th February 1926 - 5th September 1998, he is considered Denmark's most influential 20th century furniture and interior designers and i can see why.
He has created some very innovative funky futuristic designs in plastics and other varieties of materials. he also likes to use vibrant colours together in a mixture which to me creates a very playful fun vibe to his work. his style is very 1960s but his work is still in production today.



One piece of interior he created (bottom right picture) he tried to create a room that put walls, ceiling and the floor together and create places to sit. the first thing that attracts my attention is the colours of the rooms, bright blue with pink, orange and yellow. you wouldn't usually expect to see these colours together, however this makes me want to enter the room even more. it has the wow factor.
the shape is the next thing you notice, how hes created the curves and points in the walls to merge into chairs is fascinating but still very comfortable looking. where did he get this idea from?
with the use of the underfloor lighting and lights dotted around on the ceiling you feel like your in another world. this room is so unique you wouldn't find it anywhere else. this is Verner Pantons work.

all his designs look so bizarre and crazy but i think that's what audiences notice and attract their attention. it certainly does me.
