Verner Panton, Fun 1dm Chandelier, Circa 1970

Pendant light model Fun 1DM designed by Verner Panton, circa 1970.

Chromed metal structure adorned with numerous natural capiz shell discs, suspended by delicate chains, forming a luminous cascading composition.

Complete and preserved in very good vintage condition. The piece has been carefully and thoroughly cleaned. The electrification has been checked and the light is in full working order.

Minor pitting to the metal structure is visible, consistent with age and contributing to its authentic vintage character.

Height: 60 cm
Diameter: 42 cm

The capiz shell, a natural material, reveals subtle variations in tone and translucency, diffusing a soft and warm light.

With the Fun series, Verner Panton created one of his most iconic lighting designs, at the intersection of modernist clarity and a more sensory approach to light.

The 1DM model stands out for its refined and architectural presence. More compact than the multi-tiered versions, it emphasizes the purity of the design and the rhythm of the suspended elements, making it particularly versatile in contemporary interiors.

The natural vibration of the capiz, combined with the lightness of the structure, produces a living, almost organic effect. At the slightest movement of air, the piece comes alive, accompanied by a delicate chime that adds an additional sensory dimension.

An iconic piece from the 1970s, both decorative and timeless, illustrating Panton’s ability to transform light into a true material.
