Experiencing the Sixties to mid-Seventies learning under Verner Panton would have been amazing. He was commissioned multiple times to design an exhibition for the chemical company Bayer. Each year the company rented a boat during the Cologne furniture fair and turned it into a temporary showroom. The designed by Panton were titled ‘Visiona’ and ‘Visiona 2′. Both showcased surreal organic interior home furnishings that consisted of vibrant colors. The word psychedelic is continually lingering in my mind and I do wonder his process of coming up with these color and shape choices.
As you can imagine the day I begin designing my own home, reflections of this intriguing style will be present somewhere inside. It’s places like these that are unnatural that seem to be the best fitting for my ability to create things. Make sure to check out the videos after the jump to see a quick walk through.

Wow, what was Verner on? Probably not this planet :) These sets are… hang on, looking for the right word… GROOVEY. If only my place was like this.
Ha! Mick, that was the word I should have used… Grooovy.
@Adam, I’d love to see more compiled shots like you’ve done in the beginning of your showreel.
if this was a drinking establishment, my wallet would be even emptier than it is now.
