The Panton Cubes, designed by Verner Panton and reissued by the brand a href="https://www.silvera.fr/eshop/vitra-marque-design-8>Vitra, form a modular system that allows you to create a multitude of decorative sculptures. Conceived in 1975, this concept consists of cubic elements connected by ties and completed by panels, giving free rein to creativity. The reissue developed in collaboration with Verner Panton Design AG offers various kits for making a duck, a flamingo, a giraffe or a cat, but also to imagine your own compositions. In this chrome-plated version, the Panton Cubes are distinguished by their shiny and reflective finish, which accentuates their graphic and sculptural character. Made from post-industrial recycled ABS plastic, they are original decorative objects that reflect the creative and audacious universe of Verner Panton. With this reissue, Vitra revives an iconic concept that invites everyone to compose unique and expressive forms.
Born in 1926 in Gamtofte, Denmark, Verner Panton attended technical school in Odense and then studied architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Verner Pantonwas employed in Arne Jacobsen's architectural practice and founded his own architecture and design studio in 1955. Verner Panton's furniture based on geometric shapes, manufactured by the "Plus-linje" company brought him public attention for the first time. Verner Panton's predilection for bright colours and geometric shapes is evident in his many textile creations, such as the cushions in the "Textiles of the 20th Century" collection. His interior designs, aimed at blending furniture, lighting, textiles and wall panels into an indivisible unit, are legendary. Verner Panton's famous collaboration with Vitra began in the early 1960s. He then developed his most famous creation, the Panton chair, presented in 1967. It is also the first product to be manufactured by Vitra on its own account. Verner Panton died in 1998 in Copenhagen. Regarded today as one of the most influential masters in the world of 20th-century Design, Verner Panton leaves behind an innovative, futuristic style using mainly brightly coloured plastic and favouring generous, atypical shapes, such as his iconic luminaires published by Verpan. Today, the iconic designs of Verner Panton are still in great demand.
