Bibliography: "Verner Panton the collected works", Vitra design museum, 2000, Balingen, complete model reproduced on page 257 Verner PANTON (1926-1998) A giant of Danish design, Verner Panton embodied the avant-garde of the 1960s and 1970s, combining innovative materials and the use of color throughout his work. Trained as an engineer before entering the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, it was natural for him to embrace the new possibilities of plastic. Close to Arne Jacobsen, with whom he collaborated closely, he opened his own design studio to create his most famous works, such as our Kleebatt-Sofa.
