Verner Panton 1926 -1998
Verner Panton furniture reflects the 60s and 70s very well, bright colours, curves, soft, welcoming. The early 60s was a time of relative piece and innocence. People were getting in touch with themselves, this free thinking attitude would contribute to the unusual designs such as the living tower (below). This design would accomodate communal living the styling is fun and the function is not obvious.

What I enjoy most in George Nelson's designs is the swag leg illustrated in the DAF chair and swagged leg table. Nelson's design reflects the forward thinking attitude developing through the 50s, people had more of a sense of humor in their design taste, woman were working in the USA and the culture was heading towards the 60s typically the "hippie" free thinking era. At the same time people were looking forward in another way - into the future, people wanted modern designs to go along with their modern lifestyles.
