A little-known story behind the inspiration of Verner Panton’s lighting
is the Venice influence.
Panton was known for his desire to explore, travel and experience different places and cultures.
One of his favorite destinations was Venice, Italy, and he paid several visits to the famous ‘city on the water’.
It was in fact during one of these visits, that he fell in love with the slightly rose-coloured light
emitted by the old street lamps in the city.
So much so that he wanted his future lighting designs to simulate that unique experience.
The VP Globe is perhaps the most successful execution of this early
inspiration,
as its special layered design paired with the acrylic globe emits a warm, soft and ambient mood-setting light,
a signature of Panton.
In addition to the VP Globe pendant lamp from Verpan, you can also find various others designs by Verner Panton
from the also Danish design brands Louis Poulsen and Montana.
