Verner Panton: Form, Colour, Space

At the Vitra Schaudepot in Weil am Rhein, Verner Panton: Form, Colour, Space enters the Danish designer’s world through colour, synthetic materials, and interiors that treat furniture as part of a larger spatial mood. Chairs hang from ceilings, lamps glow like small planets, and domestic space turns playful without losing its technical edge.

The exhibition moves from icons like the Panton Chair, Cone Chair, and Flowerpot lamp into rarely seen furniture, architectural projects, drawings, models, and prototypes from the Verner Panton Archive. A walk-in reconstruction of Fantasy Landscape brings visitors inside his colour-saturated thinking, where textiles, light, pattern, and form create rooms that feel immersive, optimistic, and still surprisingly bold.
