Pendant light with five aluminum reflectors
Verner Panton's VP Globe radiates futurism like hardly any other luminaire. Designed in 1969, the year of the first moon landing, the design of the lamp illustrates the world's new belief in technology and the future. In the midst of this spirit of optimism and inspired by the idea of a new era, Verner Panton designed the VP Globe .
Controllability, transparency and colorfulness are the essential features of the VP Globe . The acrylic glass sphere looks like an air bubble from which the light emerges. Inside the sphere, a total of five reflectors are suspended from three steel threads. These surround the central light source.
The VP Globe not only provides a soft, pleasant and balanced ambient light, but also uniquely demonstrates Verner Panton's flair for technical aspects, materials and the interplay of possibilities.
"Color planning is crucial when designing an environment. It is not enough to say that red is red and blue is blue. I generally work in parallel with the colors of the color spectrum and consider how they follow each other within the spectrum. In this way, I can control the warm or cold character of a room and create an intended mood." , Verner Panton says about the interplay of colors in design.
Although playing with color temperatures and light colors is no longer a rarity in today's world and with modern lighting systems, the VP Globe pendant luminaire illustrates the mechanical and optical interplay of light, light colors and room moods in a unique way. In addition, the classic luminaire enriches any environment with its clear acrylic glass shade and the technical and cool-looking aluminum reflectors and attracts everyone's attention.
The VP Globe was originally designed by Verner Panton for the Louis Poulsen company. Today, Verpan produces this extraordinary luminaire, which is supplied with a black textile cable and a ceiling canopy.
