Panton was most widely known for creating rooms the immersed the visitor in a fantasy world of form and color. The early part of his career was influenced by contemporary Danish modern design during his employment for the Danish architecture firm Arne Jacobsen.

His textiles were made to complement his furniture and accessory designs that emphasized form and function.

This textile is called Kreis. It is from the Circles I collection, which was created in 1969. By the late 1960s, Panton’ s work was at the peak of its lively, psychedelic phase for which his work is best known. Over his career, he created more than 400 textile designs.

This is a generous textile from an iconic midcentury modern designer. It would be the perfect addition to an interior design that features clean lines and simple shapes. Panton Era textiles have become highly collectible recently, and this is the perfect piece for a retro or vintage-inspired room.
