Verner Panton è l'enfant terribile del design danese. Mentre i suoi colleghi danesi degli anni '50 e '60 davano priorità ai materiali naturali e all'artigianato manuale, Panton andò all'estero e sperimentò plastica colorata, fibra di vetro, acciaio e tessuti sintetici e provò nuovi metodi di produzione industriale di massa.Questo libro esamina l'approccio quasi scientifico di Panton agli ambienti, ai colori, ai sistemi e ai modelli dispiegati in interni colorati e design di prodotti fantasiosi. L'opera di Panton viene presentata come uno sforzo davvero pionieristico che punta al design moderno e al ruolo dell'esperienza visiva in una società globalizzata.
