Hello, Mates

I think Panton Week was so significative that made me continue studying one of the highlights of Verner Panton: the colours.

I`ll select five projects where colours study was the special point: Sometimes for the abuse way colours were used, sometimes for the absence of them...So let`s see!`

I would love to read your comments about it!

Hope you enjoy!

Best regards!

PANTON WEEK

Panton House, at Binningen. 1972-1987.
www.verner-panton.com

The rooms open to guests in this mansion were designed by Panton in such a way that they acted as a kind of showroom for his work. Particularly noticeable were the entrance hall with its ringed lamps, the dining room with a spectacular shell ceiling, and the large dining room. This was dominated by the Living Sculpture which today is part of the design collection of the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

Visiona 2, Cologne. 1970.

http://www.verner-panton.com/

From the end of the Sixties to the mid-Seventies the chemical company Bayer rented a pleasure boat during every Cologne furniture fair and had it transformed into a temporary showroom by a well-known contemporary designer. The main aim was to promote various synthetics products in connection with home furnishings. Verner Panton was commissioned no less than twice to design this exhibition, entitled 'Visiona'. The 1970 'Visona 2' exhibition showed the Fantasy Landscape which was created in this environment. The resulting room installation consisting of vibrant colours and organic forms is one of the principal highlights of Panton's work. In terms of design history this installation is regarded as one of the major spatial designs of the second half of the twentieth century.The creative fireworks which Panton lit with his studio within a preparation time of only a few months for 'Visiona 2' is expressed not only in the highly diversified room designs in the exhibition ship, but also in the wide range of furniture, lighting, wall coverings and textiles developed specially for this presentation. Some of these were adapted and went into series production later.

Please, watch this amazing video about Visiona 2! Thanks again, Guto!

Spiegel publishing house, Hamburg. 1969.

http://www.verner-panton.com/

The furnishing of the Spiegel Publishing house buildings in Hamburg count among the most outstanding examples of Panton’s interior designs and are some of the few that still exist, at least in part. Here again the colour schemes became a major design element, providing Panton’s typical fusion of room design. All designs were his own – lamps, textiles and wall claddings, only the furniture had to be ordered from Knoll International according to his contracts. The specially designed mirror lighting used on walls and ceilings was of major importance. While the swimming pool area was destroyed soon afterwards by a fire and the entry and lobby saw major redesign in the 90s, the canteen has so far remained in the original version and today represents a unique and valuable historic document.

"FUN" Lamps, 1964.

http://www.verner-panton.com/

The shell lamps "Fun" are shown for the first time at the Lüber Stand at the Cologne Furniture Fair.

They are composed of translucent round discs which are flexiby connected with one another by small metal rings.

Depending on the number and length of the chains of discs, the lamps take different shapes

Panton Chair, 1967.

http://www.verner-panton.com/

One of the most known, important and beutiful chairs of the world furniture history, the Panton Chair is an icon of design.

There are sketches from 1958 which already clearly prefigure it, but only in 1967 it was presented to the public for the first time.

There are some oficial versions, but the first one was made os cold-moulded fibre-glass, reinforced polyester resin, and painted in various colors.

Weekend House, 1957.
www.verner-panton.com

Panton designed a prefabricated weekend house of wood and metal, which can be disassembled and wich can also be used as a garage.

Astoria Hotel. Trondheim - Norway, 1960.
www.verner-panton.com

Panton used the textile design geometry I to IV (son I`ll post his textiles) for floor, walls and ceillings in order to give the room a uniform image. The chairs are various versions of the Cone Chair, and grouped around the tables and the Topan lights work together to divide the large room into individual seating areas with an intimate note.

Inflatable Seating, 1960.
www.verner-panton.com

In the same year of Astoria Hotel, Panton designed the first inflatable seating element, made of transparent plastic, in furniture history.

Hi, Mates

I`m really sorry about last week, when I couldn`t post a single picture at all!!! It will never happen again, I promise.

I was totally busy at office, completely full immersed in my researches, and with guests chez moi. Almost OFF!

But now I have a very special theme for you, that was part of my last researches and was suggested by my dear great friend, and great architect Guto Requena*.

Verner Panton is one of the most important personalities of design and architecture history. He was born in 1926, in Denmark, and studied architecture at the Royal Academy of the Arts, in Copenhagen.

So, hope you enjoy the week with some projects, products and curiosities about this genius.

Finally I got the visits counter working on the blog! After seven weeks, but it`s ok... Nothing is too late!!! Thanks to my friend Nilson Oliver, who helped me with this stuff!! Now we can see how many are you....hehehe

Best Regards ever!!

Hi, Mates

How fabulous is Bali, isn`t it?

I was studing last weekend, to finish the decoration of two projects in Angra dos Reis, and I spent a couple of hours in a book about "Living in Bali". All this wooden works and all the Bamboo Stuff are incredible!! It really reminds me everything around me in Angra!

So, I decided to transform this study in a week here on my blog. And talking about it with a friend, called Diego, gave me the certain to do this. He loves Bali, and I could`t resist.

Hope you enjoy, people!

ANONYMOUS 70'S WEEK

2009-04-06T17:25:00.003-03:00

Hi, Mates

I found at my Daddy`s garage an old 70`s two volume book of decoration. It`s a compilation of some projetcs published on the german magazine Schöner Wohnen by the 70`s.

The projects are very simple and might be very common by that time. The book was not for specialized public, and the projetcs are anonymous, because the book`s foccus is talking about decoration, dividing in topics and giving some advices for the amateur public. Almost a bricolage!!! But I got completely facinated with all that 70`s atmosphere around this book. The topics are very interesting, and I decided to post 5 pics that I selected from it during this week.

Maybe you won`t apreciate a hole project, but you might enjoy some coverings, some fabrics, chairs, colors, lights...

HOPE YOU ENJOY!
