Danish designer and architect Verner Panton (1926–1998) is renowned for his avant-garde furniture creations as well as his vibrant and distinctive interior designs. One of the most significant designers of the 20th century, his creations still serve as an inspiration to modern designers.

Bold color choices, organic shapes, and creative material choices were the hallmarks of Panton’s designs. He was one of the first designers to experiment with inflatable furniture and was particularly interested in discovering new manufacturing processes and materials, like molded plastic and fiberglass.

Some of Panton’s most well-known creations are the Flowerpot Lamp, a spherical lamp with a reflective surface, and the Panton Chair, a cantilevered chair created from a single piece of molded plastic.
