Description
The FlowerPot VP1 pendant by &Tradition is a true design icon. Originally created in 1969 by Danish designer Verner Panton, one of the leading figures of 20th-century Scandinavian design, the FlowerPot VP1 continues to charm with its timeless appeal and joyful spirit. In 1968, student protests in Paris, Rome, and across the United States challenged outdated social values and ushered in the era of the “Flower Power” generation—an age of peace, love, and harmony. That same year, Stanley Kubrick envisioned the year 2001 in his cinematic masterpiece, featuring the now-iconic Panton Chair, while humankind was preparing to set foot on the moon. In the world of design, a colourful and playful pendant light was beginning to bloom in restaurants, exhibitions, and soon, in homes around the globe. The FlowerPot VP1 pendant, with its two hemispheres facing one another, quickly became emblematic of the 1970s. Its design, now reissued by &Tradition, remains as fresh and relevant as ever. What makes the FlowerPot VP1 so compelling is the way its two metal domes nest together in perfect balance—a simple, yet brilliant construction. The FlowerPot VP1's rounded, elementary and joyful form is brought to life through a vibrant palette of colours. Whether suspended over a kitchen island, placed above a bedside table, or illuminating a living room, the FlowerPot collection—available as both pendant lights and table lamps—offers playful elegance with a timeless character. With its wide array of colours and sizes, the FlowerPot VP1 by &Tradition is more than a lamp; it's a joyful design statement that has transcended eras.
