Throughout his career, he would advocate that colour had both a central meaning and function in design and that it should be used as a tool to enhance everyday life.After an apprenticeship with architect and designer Arne Jacobsen at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Panton pursued a path in furniture and interior design, taking his knowledge and experience on the road throughout Europe, eventually settling in Basel, Switzerland. In the 60s and 70s, his passion for curating entire environments led to immersive interiors featuring his hypnotic patterns and futuristic designs for furniture, lighting and textiles. Panton’s Flowerpot lamp became emblematic of his desire to create objects that sparked joy while meeting the needs of the time. Encompassing a vast range of vivid colours, it is just as synonymous with modernity now as when it was first launched in 1968. “He would ask questions like… how do you communicate with colour? And, why are most people afraid of using colour?” his daughter, Carin Panton, recalls. His provocative approach to design and tendency to part from the norm solidified Panton’s position as a visionary. While his 1959 Topan lamp, 1968 Flowerpot lamps and 1971 Wire Stool sit in our classics collection, they remain convincingly contemporary and a firm favourite to this day. Disclaimer :Kindly note that the lamp will ship from Denmark with the following specifications : Voltage 220-240V – 50HzLight SourceE27 Max 12 Watt LEDBulb not included.So please note the following : - The fixture is designed for 220V. Some of the driver circuits may be able to "feed" the LEDs enough current even with a 110V input, some may not. You'd have to try it and see. The bulb will either not work, produce a very dim light, or work at full brightness. (If the bulb doesn't work, changing the bulb with bulbs that are rated for the planned voltage will work ) - Wire conduct electricity whether it is 110 volt or 220 volt – wire doesn't discriminate. So long as you use a bulb purchased in the US (made for 110 volt usage), you don't have to worry about the voltage difference.- You can convert 220 volts to 110 volts by either using an adapter plug or removing the existing 220 receptacle from the outlet box or replace the plug end with a 120v plug.Kindly note that the only way to know which is the best solution of the ones mentioned above , would be by trial and in case the lamp is converted warranty will not be valid but it is our responsibility to make sure we revert all this information to you.
