eBay watch: 1960s Verner Panton Peacock Chair

Posted on | Leave a comment

Panton

Not a model dating back to the late 60s, but this Verner Panton Peacock Chair is still a sought-after design.

It was designed by Panton back in 1969 and even now, it's a real head-turner. This particular version is the one sold by Habitat for a very short time in the late 1990s. Not cheap then and not cheap to find one now.

Both the metal frame and seven circular cushions are said to be in 'fantastic' condition, which makes the current price of £31.03 something of a steal. Not something you'll see again in a hurry.

eBay watch: Original 1970s Verner Panton Panthella floor lamp

Panthella

You can still buy these and you can find out details of the new ones in a previous post, but if you want an original Verner Panton Panthella floor lamp with a bit of age and less of a price tag, eBay is currently the place to be.

The original was designed in 1970 by Panton for Louis Poulsen. A space age classic, it had that stylish curved shape, made of high pressure moulded opal acrylic, with the supporting stand in high pressure moulded polycarbonate structure built around a steel stem.

This one is described as a 'very early edition', with a few tiny age marks to reassure you. It's also got the original paper label attached. £450 is the approximate price of a new one, but this one is on eBay right now for just 99p.

B&Q’s Verner Panton-like Cupola table lamp

Posted on | Leave a comment

Cupola

B&Q is always a good place to look for interesting and affordable lighting without the big price tag, which this Cupola table lamp is certainly an example of.

Available in various colours (not just the red above), it reminds us of both the Verner Panton Flopwerpot light and his Panthella lamp – not a bad marriage, we have to say.

Made of metal, the lamp stands at just 38cm tall, has an in-line hand switch and needs a 40w bulb for light – the latter likely to add a couple of quid onto the modest £15.98 price tag for the lamp.

Satin Metal Onion table lamp by Verner Panton

Onion

A distinctive piece of lighting, but the Satin Metal Onion table lamp by Verner Panton comes at a price.

The design dates back to 1977, with the lamp made of satin metal vertical, compressed lamellae to create that 'Onion' shape. The result os something sculptural that gives out atmospheric, indirect light.

Finished off with a transparent wire and requiring a 100W clear bulb for that light, this 80cm tall light is yours for £1,225.

eBay watch: 1970s Pine Moon light

Posted on | Leave a comment

Pine

It's not quite a Verner Panton Moon light, but this Pine Moon light isn't a million miles away.

Pine is the material here, with the lampshade made of eight concentric pine laminates circles held by two vertical rods, a pine one at the bottom and another housing the bulb casing at the top. All can be adjusted for different lighting effects.

It is said to be in decent order, with a few age marks and is currently offered for a fraction of the price of Panton reissue. How much? Just 99 pence as I type.
