Many mother-of-pearl pellets form a dense cloud and serve as a diffuser. Fun was designed in 1964 and still fascinates today with its charming and complex appearance and the special charm of this extraordinary material. Fun features many small round mother-of-pearl pellets, suspended from a metal ring structure by thin metal chains. The result is a swarm of pellets shielding the light source that glows and produces sounds if there is a breath or draft. 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 panton was 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 company "plus-linje" earned him public attention for the first time. Verner panton's predilection for bright colors and geometric shapes is evident in his many textile designs, such as the cushions from the "textiles of the 20th century" collection. His interior designs, aimed at blending furniture, lighting, textiles and wall panels into an indivisible unity, are legendary. Verner panton's famous collaboration with vitra began in the early 60s. He then developed his most famous creation, the panton chair, presented in 1967. It is also the first product manufactured by vitra on its own account. Verner panton.
