VERPAN Moon - Pendant light, Ø 44 cm

Spherical designer pendant luminaire Moon with aluminium lamellae - by Verner Panton

One of the first luminaires designed by Verner Panton was the pendant luminaire Moon, with which the design icon launched a completely new creative style. Even with his furniture creations, Panton set himself the goal of creating more than just furnishings. What came out of Verner Panton's pen always went beyond what was previously known. His creations were not only intended to complement the interior design, but to function as stylish, space-consuming and central sculptures. The international enthusiasm that the Moon pendant luminaire continues to enjoy today proves that Panton made a statement with his first luminaire design.

Ten white lacquered aluminium louvres layered one inside the other form the body of this ingeniously designed pendant luminaire. The slats, which increase in diameter from the inside to the outside, are movable and can be turned individually one above the other. The fascination of this pendant lamp, as with numerous other designs by Verner Panton, is to be found in the detail. Once shaped, the slats completely conceal the central light source, but reflect the incoming light through the gaps to the outside, creating an unprecedented, perfectly glare-free play of light that will completely change the atmosphere in the room.

As the position of the individual slats is variable, the Moon pendant luminaire allows a wide variety of lighting design. Like the moon, which constantly changes shape in the night sky, Verner Panton's luminaire is a multi-faceted design object. The new edition of the Moon pendant luminaire is signed by Verner Panton and is located on the innermost of the ten louvres.
