Scandinavian Morning in Athens
The Flower Pot lamp, designed by Verner Panton in 1969, is the lamp of its era and a good
example of Scandinavian design.
In the era of the 60s, the flower power generation took over declaring love, peace and harmony
for everyone; students revolted in France and Italy, and man was sent to the Moon.
The design
for that era was bright, colorful and extremely playful –
exactly what Verner Panton knew best.
He designed his
lamp with the happenings of the era in mind – therefore the
name, The Flower Pot lamp.
At the same time as being the voice of the hippie era,the
design of The Flower Pot lamp is simple and minimalistic
like Scandinavian design is thought to be.
The lamp
consists of two semi-circular, different sized spheres facing
each other, and a simple stand for the table lamp models.
The colors of the lamp are all bright but only one color is
used throughout the whole lamp; this simple design and
style makes the lamp an imposing design piece.
