"You sit better on a color that you like" – Verner Panton. The Danish designer Verner Panton(1926-1998) was a leading and significant part of the absolute heyday of Danish furniture design. Panton had close relationships with both Arne Jacobsen, Hans J. Wegner and Poul Henningsen, whose expression and idioms are known and loved by people all over the world.

His expression were provocative, playful, futuristic but also full of personality. The passion for exploring the possibilities of unconventional material types and flashy colors was an essential part of the DNA of many of his sculptural works.
