Verner Panton (1926-1998) is the enfant terrible of Danish design. While his Danish colleagues of the 1950s and 1960s gave priority to natural materials and manual craftsmanship, Panton went abroad and experimented with coloured plastic, fibreglass, steel and synthetic fabrics, as well as new methods of industrial mass production.

This book examines Panton's quasi-scientific approach to environments, colours, systems and patterns, which unfolds in colourful total interiors and imaginative product designs. Panton's work is presented as a pioneering effort that sheds light on modern design and the role of visual experience in a globalised society.
