This Verner Panton textile fabric, called “Kreis”, features two duplicated circles, in alternating neutral colors is a deceptively simple concept upon first viewing. The two circles, which are spaced apart proportionately, are inverted mirrors of each other. Whereas the top circle fades from the lightest to the darkest colors, the bottom circle is reversed and begins with the darkest to the lightest colors of the same palette. Using Panton’s trademark formula of a gradient spaced over eight lines, these colors are soft, earthy, and clean. The background has a lighter wash which amplifies the colors of the circles. This textile’s composition is balanced, poised, and sublime. Verner Panton was best known throughout his established career for pioneering futuristic and modern designs.
This breathtaking Panton textile is an iconic piece of mid century modern design and artwork. The soft natural colors of this vintage Kreis textile are earthy yet fresh. The lines are clean, and the gentle curves create a calming zen like feel. It is a beautiful piece for a modern interior to say the least.
