So, the other day I stumbled upon this super cool lamp – the Verner Panton Flowerpot. Seriously, this thing just grabbed my attention right away. It’s got this awesome retro look that I’m totally into. It made me want to delve deeper into its design.
I started digging around to find out more about it. Turns out, it was designed way back in 1968 by this guy Verner Panton. Apparently, it’s like, his most famous design ever. I read that it’s one of those classic pieces that just never gets old, you know? They called it “unconventional,” which I guess fits since the designer himself was known for being a bit out there.
After reading all that, I decided to get my hands on one. And let me tell you, setting it up was a breeze. I just plugged the micro USB cable into the port on the bottom and then connected it to a power supply. They said something about a replacement battery you can buy, but I haven’t needed it yet. Oh, and a little red light popped up next to the USB port when it was charging.
Now, here’s the cool part – the one I got is the portable version, the VP9 Signal Green. It’s a bit smaller than the original, which I think makes it even more versatile. I can move it around wherever I need some extra light, whether it’s on my desk, the bedside table, or even outside on the patio. It just fits in everywhere. The size is great, not too big, not too small – 29.5 cm tall and 16 cm in diameter. Just right.
I’ve been using it for a few days now, and I’m totally loving it. It adds such a cool vibe to my space, and the light it gives off is perfect. It’s like having a little piece of design history right in my own home. It’s not just a lamp, it’s a statement piece.
