Description
Vitra has created a collection of miniatures representing the great classics of the history of modern furniture. The structure, materials and colours are a faithful reproduction of the original piece down to the smallest detail, reduced to 1/6th scale. Each piece is hand-made, and the designer has agreed a licencing deal with producer Vitra for the entire collection. The Miniatures collection is exclusive to the Vitra Design Museum. Verner Panton's famous chair is sold in a set featuring 5 miniatures inspired by 60's Pop Art. The designer broke away from the restrictions of traditional structures, instead opting to play with shapes and colours using plastic. Whatever models you own, these miniature pieces are perfect for displaying throughout the house like precious collector's items, delivered in a wooden case.
Born in 1926 in Gamtofte, Denmark, Verner Panton attended technical school in Odense and then studied architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Verner Pantonwas employed in Arne Jacobsen's architectural practice and founded his own architecture and design studio in 1955. Verner Panton's furniture based on geometric shapes, manufactured by the "Plus-linje" company brought him public attention for the first time. Verner Panton's predilection for bright colours and geometric shapes is evident in his many textile creations, such as the cushions in the "Textiles of the 20th Century" collection. His interior designs, aimed at blending furniture, lighting, textiles and wall panels into an indivisible unit, are legendary. Verner Panton's famous collaboration with Vitra began in the early 1960s. He then developed his most famous creation, the Panton chair, presented in 1967. It is also the first product to be manufactured by Vitra on its own account. Verner Panton died in 1998 in Copenhagen. Regarded today as one of the most influential masters in the world of 20th-century Design, Verner Panton leaves behind an innovative, futuristic style using mainly brightly coloured plastic and favouring generous, atypical shapes, such as his iconic luminaires published by Verpan. Today, the iconic designs of Verner Panton are still in great demand.
