Lous poulsen verner Panton vp1 1st edition flowerpot

First edition VP1 flowerpot pendants in excellent condition. Set of 2. Designed by Verner Panton in 1969 Manufactured by Louis Poulsen, Denmark The lamps consist of an orange enameled lampshade consisting of two half spheres facing each other. A concern of Verner Panton while designing most of his lamps was to avoid direct light contact with the eyes. In this particular case, he conceived a cup covering the light bulb which reflects the light on the larger shade which bounces a soft light downwards. These lamps are marked with the original stickers. They are in very good condition and in working order. Original orange fabric wire and porcelain socket. Verner Panton, born in Gentofte, Denmark, studied at Odense Technical College before enrolling at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen as an architecture student. He worked from 1950-1952 in the architectural firm of Arne Jacobsen and founded an independent studio for architecture and design in 1955. He first attracted wider attention with the geometric forms of his furniture designs for the firm Plus-linje. In the following years Panton created numerous designs for seating furniture and lighting. Height 16 cm Diameter 21.5 cm
