VERPAN Fun 10DM - pendant light, brass

Fun 10DM pendant light from VERPAN hung with iridescent mother-of-pearl chains The hallmark of the Fun light series from VERPAN is the iridescent chains of mother-of-pearl discs that cascade down from the metal rings in different lengths. Four metal rings form the basis of the Fun 10DM pendant light, giving the countless shell discs linked together by small stainless steel rings the space they need. Fascinating colour nuances and the interplay of the iridescent mother-of-pearl surfaces with the light draw the viewer's attention to the Fun 10DM when the light is switched on. And why this pendant light is a real gem, not just visually but also acoustically, becomes clear when a small breeze brushes the shell chains. Like a wind chime, the harmonious, soft sounds of the gently moving shell plates fill the room. The creations of Danish designer and architect Verner Panton stand out for their originality and unusual designs. Particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, Panton revolutionised the international world of furniture design with his avant-garde designs. The seamless material plastic and the play with transparency became his central design elements. In his search for a material that would amaze the observer in combination with light, the iridescent bio-mineral mother-of-pearl aroused the Dan's interest in 1964. Inspired by this, he designed the Fun lamp series, which is characterised by Panton's play with transparency on the one hand and the fascinating properties of mother-of-pearl - the "Mother of Pearls" - on the other.
