Ten Verner Panton products that have stood the test of time

The late mid-century modern designer Verner Panton was born 100 years ago today. To mark the occasion, we have rounded up 10 of his most enduring pieces of furniture and lighting.

Born in Braheborg-Gamtofte in Denmark on 13 February 1926, Panton left an indelible mark on the design industry and is remembered as a household name who dared to experiment with swathes of colour, shapes and materials. His career spanned furniture, lighting and product design as well as interiors and architecture – a common feature among many of Panton’s mid-century peers, who were considered polymaths for their multidisciplinary capabilities.
