Colourful Flowerpot Lamps by Verner Panton

Flowerpot Collection

Perfect for dining or living areas, the Flowerpot VP7

With the Flowerpot collection, the Danish design label &Tradition breathes new life into one of the most important designs in modern architecture. Verner Panton's Flowerpot lamp from the 1960s is a genuine design classic and exudes elegant retro charm in the Tradition Flowerpot collection as a pendant lamp, table lamp and, more recently, as a VP9 battery lamp.

As his wife Marianne Panton reported, Panton designed the Flowerpot with the aim of designing a lamp that had never existed before. In fact, Panton broke all conventions of the time with his design in terms of shape and colour. He created a homage to the eponymous flower power movement, which turned social norms worldwide on their heads during the 1960s.

Particularly enticing with the Flowerpot lamp is its innovative and simple structure: Panton combined two hemispheres made of enamelled metal of different sizes, which are arranged with the open sides facing each other, and thus created a lamp that provides pleasant, glare-free light. The hemispheres, originally made of shiny enamel in bright colours, look trendy and playful. Since the design is very minimalistic and reduced, the Flowerpot lights fit perfectly into a wide variety of areas. &Tradition realizes the Flowerpot collection in a number of strong colours and has also added metallic versions.
