Vintage Scandinavian Verner Panton “Mira Spectrum” Textile, Country Of Origin: Scandinavia, Circa Date: Mid 20th Century – Verner Panton was a Danish designer who defined an era. He is famous for his innovative and unusual design ideas. A student of the Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen, Panton would soon find his pieces among the ranks of such Mid century modern icons as Ray Eames and Piet Mondrian. Just as Eames design defined the 1950s, Panton defined the 1960s era. This decade in design is known as the Panton Era.

The masterful use of color and line is a hallmark of Panton’s work. He often designed entire sets to create an “experience” inside of the space. The sets would include the furniture, lighting, and fabrics to complete the look. One of the characteristics of Panton’s work is that it often appears to have motion, creating an optical illusion. This piece is part of a series that was created in 1970 called “Mira Spectrum.” The “Mira” series uses color and form to create a waveform with a three-dimensional appearance.
