Anchored in the bold optimism of late-1960s Scandinavian design, this framed textile panel features the iconic "Kurve" pattern by Verner Panton. Designed for Danish textile maker Mira X in 1969, pattern 47806 unfolds as a hypnotic, concentric wave—an orange rainbow of deep tangerine, terra cotta, and brick tones, subtly shifting in monochromatic harmony.
Set within a sleek, polished metal frame, the textile is presented as both minimalist sculpture and graphic artwork. Its clean edges complement the geometric form, while its textured surface brings warmth and tactility. Measuring 36.25 inches square with a depth of 1.5 inches, the panel strikes a commanding balance—impactful in scale yet refined in its statement.
The condition is exceptional: colors are vibrant and the textile surface shows no visible wear, presenting as a meticulous artifact of its era. With the framed piece ready to hang, it becomes an immediate focal point capable of energizing any space with its retro-modern charisma.
This is more than decoration—it is emblematic of Verner Panton’s visionary ethos. His work blurred the lines between textiles, interior architecture, and visual art, crafting immersive environments saturated in color and form. The "Kurve" motif exemplifies that approach, bringing a geometric pulse that is both playful and disciplined.
Among collectors of mid-century modern textiles, Panton panels remain rare and highly prized. Original framed examples of this iconic design are increasingly sought after, with their vibrant palettes and graphic precision positioning them as both collectible artifacts and fine art statements.
This panel invites comparison to minimal abstraction and pop-inspired geometry—an emblematic accent for scaled gallery walls, dramatic entry foyers, or curated lounge environments. It offers both visual warmth and sculptural poise, serving as a timeless centerpiece for interiors that value playful geometry, vintage colorcraft, and design provenance.
This listing is for the framed textile alone. The matching pillows, chair, end table and accessories are sold separately.
