Verner Panton: Form, Colour, Space / Vitra Design Museum

The Vitra Design Museum, in collaboration with Verner Panton Design AG, presents a comprehensive retrospective on the Danish designer Verner Panton (1926–1998) at the Vitra Schaudepot to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth. The exhibition explores the full range of Panton’s creative output, from iconic furniture pieces such as the Panton Chair and Cone Chair to lighting designs, textiles, and visionary interior concepts. A highlight is a walk-in reconstruction of his legendary Fantasy Landscape (1970), offering visitors direct experience of his sculptural, colour-rich environments. Trained as an architect and initially influenced by Arne Jacobsen, Panton developed a distinctive style from the late 1950s onward, emphasising bold colour, playful forms, and innovative use of synthetic materials. The chronologically arranged exhibition covers his major projects from the 1950s through the 1990s, including the Visiona exhibitions, corporate and restaurant interiors, and previously lesser-known architectural concepts. Drawing extensively from the Verner Panton Archive, the show provides a detailed overview of his systematic approach to design and his lasting impact on 20th-century design.
