VERPAN Fun 2DM – mother-of-pearl hanging light

Suspension lamp Fun 2DM from Verner Panton made of real mother-of-pearl plates “Mother of Pearls” – the designer pendant lamp Fun 2DM, created in 1964 by the renowned designer and architect Verner Panton, truly deserves this nickname. A sea of iridescent mother-of-pearl chains gently moving in the wind forms the shade of this lamp, which not only as a mere source of light, but also as an exclusive piece of jewellery fills every room with brilliance. Small stainless steel rings are used to connect small plates of real mother-of-pearl, which with its iridescent surface that shimmers in the light is a popular material in the manufacture of jewellery and works of art, to form movable chains of varying lengths. The shell chains hang elegantly from two shiny chrome-plated metal rings and enclose the internal light source. A 400 cm long black textile cable leads from the chrome-plated canopy down to the lamp body. The Fun 2DM pendant lamp can illuminate foyers and halls of hotels or other public institutions as stylishly as private rooms. If you also want to fully enjoy the acoustic advantages of this lamp, place it where a breeze occasionally brushes the shell chains and sets them in slight motion. In this way Fun 2DM attracts attention as a harmonious wind chime even when the light is switched off. When Verner Panton was not busy designing unusual seating furniture at the time, he devoted himself to the world of lighting and expressed his love of unusual colours and shapes in this area too. While the lamp series Fun with its chains of real mother-of-pearl may not necessarily reflect Panton’s affinity for artificial materials, it is nevertheless one of his central works.
