Extravagant mother-of-pearl pendant light Fun 0DM by designer Verner Panton One of Verner Panton's most important luminaire designs is undoubtedly the Fun luminaire series. A sea of real shell plates hangs from four chrome-plated stainless steel rings, creating a work of art that embodies pure elegance even when the light is switched off. Mother-of-pearl - literally the mother of pearls - is a popular material for making jewellery and objets d'art due to its special surface structure, which is accompanied by a shimmering appearance.
The effect of the interplay between mother-of-pearl and light is utilised by Danish designer Verner Panton in the Fun pendant light. Hidden behind the semi-transparent shell discs is the bulb, whose light creates fascinating effects when it hits the iridescent mother-of-pearl leaves. But the Fun pendant light doesn't just mesmerise the observer with its lighting effect.
The Fun pendant light is connected to the chrome canopy with a 400 cm long black textile cable and offers a wide range of applications thanks to its visual and, of course, acoustic benefits. It can be used to enhance a private living space as well as the rooms of a design hotel. The Dane Verner Panton is considered one of the most renowned architects and designers of the last century.
He was one of the first to combine interior design with Pop Art and made an international name for himself with his extraordinary furniture and lighting designs.
