Optik: Ultramarine/Violet by Verner Panton

Verner Panton (1926-1998) was renowned for the flair and élan of his furniture, lighting and fabric designs. His work in a variety of media demonstrated an aesthetic defined by curves and audacious colors. His resistance to convention can be seen in such innovative designs as the Flying Chair and the S Chair.

Although Verner Panton worked with a variety of materials, some of his most enduring work can be seen in his vibrant textile designs. Optik Ultramarine/Violet is just one of many classic fabric designs from the imagination of Verner Panton. The geometrically designed Optik pattern originated in 1969 and creates a visual effect reminiscent of the Optical Art movement.

Optik Ultramarine/Violet has an optically challenging design of horizontal stripes in ultramarine and violet with broken up, alternating colors that form circles. The composite circles measure 3 7/8" in diameter. Each stripe is 3/8" thick. The Optik fabrics are based on the original design from 1969.

Optik Ultramarine/Violet has so many possibilities. Draperies, wall hangings, seat cushions, pillows, lampshades, slipcovers and table covers are just a few of the items that can be made to show off the shapes and colors of Verner Panton's perpetually modern Optik design.
