Danish architect Verner Panton (1926–1998) is one of the 20th century’s most influential designers; he designed living landscapes and suspended chairs from the ceiling. His work—from furniture, fabrics, and lamps to sculptures, buildings, and interiors—radically redefined form, color, and space. To celebrate the centenary of his birth, the Vitra Design Museum will dedicate a major exhibition at the Vitra Schaudepot to Panton’s work. Showcasing the full breadth of his creative output—from iconic pieces like the “Panton Chair” to his lighting and textile designs—it will also feature several of his little-known architectural projects. A walk-in reconstruction of the legendary “Fantasy Landscape” (1/8) 1970, brings Panton’s revolutionary understanding of space and the spirit of the era vividly to life. The exhibition design transforms his sculptural, colour-rich worlds into an immersive experience. The show is based on the extensive Verner Panton Collection at the Vitra Design Museum, which is one of the most important of its kind and comprises a unique wealth of objects, drawings, models, and archival materials.
The exhibition, which was created in close collaboration with Verner Panton Design AG, invites visitors to rediscover a visionary designer between pop, utopias, and organic worlds of color.
