VP GLOBE/

1969

Originally conceived in 1969 by Verner Panton, the VP Globe

is arguably the most recognized Panton lighting design.

The decorative pendant features a crystal clear transparent

acrylic outer sphere with five internal reflectors suspended

by three steel chains.

A little-known story behind the inspiration of Verner Panton’s

lighting is the Venice influence. Panton was known for his

desire to explore, travel and experience different places and

cultures. One of his favorite destinations was Venice, Italy,

and he paid several visits to the famous ‘city on the water’.

It was in fact during one of these visits, that he fell in love

with the slightly rose-coloured light emitted by the old street

lamps in the city – so much so that he wanted his future

lighting designs to simulate that unique experience.

The VP Globe is perhaps the most successful execution of this

early inspiration, as its special layered design paired with

the acrylic globe emits a warm, soft and ambient light – a

signature of Panton.

True to Panton’s creative approach, the VP Globe is available

in various configurations and sizes – exploring different

materials and expressions.

All VP Globes are assembled 100% by hand in Denmark.
