Verner Panton - Living Tower

Description

“Living Tower” by Verner Panton, designed in 1969, is clearly not an ordinary piece of seating. From the very first glance, it’s a sculptural object that transforms space into an interactive architectural experience. Panton fused his passion for organic shapes, vibrant colors, and functional aesthetics to create a piece of furniture that encourages movement, communication, and relaxation.

There are four levels of use: it allows you to sit, lie down, unwind, or even retreat into its form. It feels as if you're navigating through a living space.

The robust structure is made of birch plywood, covered with high-quality polyurethane foam and textile fabric—ensuring both durability and comfort.

Living Tower emerged at a time when design began to be seen as a spatial experience. Panton was experimenting with immersive environments—most notably with his Visiona exhibition, where he created entire interiors that resembled psychedelic landscapes.
