Verner PANTON
Beginning and education
- Verner Panton sees on the 13th of February, 1926 in Brahesborg-Gamtofte on the island Fünen in Denmark the light of the world. At the age of 18 years the Dane moves to Odense. There he joins the military for two years. Parallely in addition he visits the Technical School, also in Odense, from 1944 to 1947. Following Verner Panton studies architecture at the Royal Academy of Arts in Copenhagen (in 1947-1951) and begins to occupy himself with colour psychologie. During the study Tove Kemp crosses his way. The stepdaughter of the architect and designer Poul Henningsen marries Panton in 1950. Nevertheless, the marriage fails after only one year. Their common son passes away early. What remains is the friendship to Poul Henningsen which remains up to his death in 1967 Panton’s mentor.
