What is your relationship with Verner Panton? I have always loved his design, and one of my first thrift shop buys was 3 pantonova lounge chairs from 1971. I love playful colours combined with industrial and functional design, and I think VP achieved that in his various designs.
I live in Fredericia, Denmark with my boyfriend and my son. I am from Fredericia, but we have lived 8 years in Aarhus. We fell in love with the house because of the midcentury design and 70’s vibe and architecture, which we both love. How did you get into interior design? I started photographing my old small townhouse in Skanderborg (we lived there in between Aarhus and Fredericia in 3 years), and “hunting” old midcentury furniture to match the home. It became more than a hobby, and now I photograph mostly interior, home stories and interior design. I love to create small spaces around the house with designs from different time periods to achieve tension and contrast. Where do you find inspiration? All around me! Shapes, colours, seasons. I always
How do you see his influence today? I have always seen Verner Panton as a designer who was ahead of the needs of society. His focus was on how we use the space around us during everyday life, and making it fun and creative. I definitely see it everywhere today - we choose to surround us with aesthetic things, but we also want it to influence our emotions and creativity - we want to be able to change a room so it matches our current needs and feelings. Favorite design from the Verpan collection? The Moon lamp! It is clever, beautiful and functional. It is for me pure perfection when it comes to express design through shape/form. Mia is a sponsored partner of Verpan.
