There seems to be a strong connection between the

fashion industry and Verner Panton, and in recent

years PRADA, Dries van Noten and Danish RAINS

have used his designs in different ways. You yourself

are also involved in fashion - why do you think that

Verner Panton attracts this interest in the industry?

Verner Panton was so ahead of his time. He was brave

and used modern materials like steel and plastic, and on

top of that he was so good with colours and shapes. His

designs are daring but still classic, and you are never

in doubt that he is the one who made them. These are

exactly the values that most fashion designers would

like to be associated with.

Can you put into words how you decorate your home

with and work with colours and composition of

colours?

Colours are life to me. I love looking at colours, and I

think it adds some warmth and personality to my home.

At the moment I am very fascinated by primary colours

like green, red and blue and I mix them with more

douche colours. In our home there are no black things

and no white walls. I have learned over the years that

I should not be afraid to choose furniture or things in

colours. These are always the things I end up being the

happiest with. Such as a coloured Chanel bag or a pink

Welle. A coloured statement item allows you to keep the

rest of the room fairly neutral.

Where do you find inspiration for your decor?

I primarily find inspiration in old houses and

hotels in Southern Europe. Villa Magnan is my

dream place. I am not so Scandinavian oriented

although I love a beautiful oak table. I’m more

into the slightly more eclectic that I think Verner

Panton masters (even though he’s Danish). In

addition, I love Pinterest, design books and

Instagram.
