Vintage Orange “Kurve” Verner Panton Textile 47800

Size: 4 ft 1 in x 4 ft 5 in (1.24 m x 1.35 m)

Happy Orange Color Vintage Verner Panton Textile, Country / Origin: Denmark, Fabric Creation Date: Mid 20th Century – This gorgeous orange textile features a design called Kurve. It is the work of the iconic midcentury designer Verner Panton. It was created in 1969 as part of the Décor 1 collection that included furniture, lighting, and accessories. The years 1696 and 1970 were the years when Panton created some of his most recognizable pieces.

Panton began his art studies at the Royal Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen. He would spend two years at the Arne Jacobsen architectural firm, which specialized in Danish modern pieces. However, Panton wanted to explore color and form using modern materials rather than taking the traditional route. His design concepts were innovative and did not meet the approval of conventional designers at the time. Panton began his own firm, and his designs would go on to define an era.

This piece features the Panton Curve, which is constructed using three sets of concentric circles to create the path. It is still taught in design schools today. It adds structure and form to the piece, and the use of eight graduated color intensities gives it a three-dimensional effect. The curve creates a gentle path and movement for the eye to follow.

Happy colors continue to be a popular design trend, and this fabric would blend in to give the room a distinctive modern look. The gentle curve and wonderful colors give it an organic, serene feel. Panton was known for his use of color to accentuate form. He was also known as a master of using color to create a certain mood within the space.

This is a gorgeous piece from a midcentury artist who continues to influence modern design today. It is the perfect piece for a minimalist or Swedish modern room design. It is also the perfect size for framing or as part of a Panton collection. This is a versatile piece that complements a range of contemporary design and retro-inspired styles.
