“Choosing colors should not be a gamble. It should be a conscious decision…Colors have a meaning and a function.” -Verner Panton

Panton first displayed the Welle series at the forward-thinking Visiona exhibition back in 1969. To call Verner Panton’s Welle series “lounge furniture” is almost an understatement. Like so much else of Panton’s extensive oeuvre, these wildly imaginative organic forms land like a colorful bomb in the sleepy world of traditional contract furniture – and leave us anything but indifferent.

As one of the most influential and remarkable designers of the era, Verner Panton (1926-1998) has created objects, spaces and art. He was a master of the fluid, futuristic style of 1960s design which introduced the Pop aesthetic to furniture and interiors. His original, space age designs have won numerous awards and been exhibited in museums and private collections around the world. His ideologies and design concepts are apparent and have had great influence on 21st century design.

The Welle seating system truly are some of the most organic forms Panton ever created for the lounge. The series is available in a variety of shapes and offered in your choice of upholstery options. Please call the hive showroom with any questions: 1-866-663-4483.
