At Work with…
Verner Panton
© Verner Panton Design AG
In the series ‘At Work with…’, we offer an inside look at the workspaces of our designers — both past and present.
"Verner Panton preferred working late in the evening or at night, when his best ideas came to him. He liked to work at home in his study. The layout of his workspace did not matter much to him – he merely required a table, a notepad and a pencil. Plus enough space to walk around and think. He always carried small, graph-ruled index cards in his shirt pocket, so that he could easily jot down his thoughts while on the go. They were very, very important to him."
- Marianne Panton, wife of Verner Panton
