Overview

The Hive Pendant was designed in 1977 by Verner Panton and is now re-edited by Danish brand Verpan. Its design is sculptural and very characteristic of the 70s. It uniquely combines a generous downward light and a soft and diffused lateral light thanks to its layered shades conceiling the light source. The Hive Pendant is an iconic Panton piece, suited for residential, hospitality or corporate projects.

Verner Panton

Verner Panton (1926–1998) is the ‘enfant terrible’ of Danish furniture design. Characterized by Poul Henningsen as “stubborn and forever young” Panton used his imagination and enthusiasm to combine high-tech materials, playful shapes and an array of bold colours, until an entirely new and different idiom emerged. After graduating from the Royal Academy in Copenhagen in 1951, he worked briefly at Arne Jacobsen’s architectural office, before setting off in his Volkswagen van in a bid to explore Europe and at the same time find possible investors. He returned to Denmark, not with contracts, but full of ideas, and soon after landed his first major job — designing the interior of the Komigen (Comeagain) Inn. This resulted in “the Cone Chair”, which was placed in an all-red setting, causing a sensation.
