Verner Panton (1926 – 1998) is known worldwide for his avant-garde work and prolific experimentation with materials, shapes, and most importantly – colour. Throughout his career, he would advocate that colour had both a central meaning and function in design and that it should be used as a tool to highlight dynamic shapes.

Panton’s Flowerpot lamp became emblematic of his desire to create objects that sparked joy while meeting the needs of the time. Encompassing a vast range of vivid colours, it is just as synonymous with modernity now as when it was first launched in 1968.
