Topan VP6 pendant light

The basic shape of an aluminum sphere with a diameter of 21 cm, brushed or painted in various colors, is open at the bottom. The light is thus focused and emerges as a cone. Unlike the designer's other lamps. Verner Panton donates Topan VP6 Pendant lights provide direct, not indirect, light. Therefore, it is recommended to hang the pendant light as low as possible in its intended location. For individually adjustable height, the Topan VP6 comes with a three-meter-long fabric cable that matches the color of the lamp globe.

The Topan VP6 can be fitted with a light source of up to 40 watts. This design classic provides pleasant ambient lighting, allowing for targeted highlighting of specific areas. For example, 18 white and 18 yellow Topan VP6 lights were strategically placed as spotlights above a yellow 1955 BMW Isetta with a white convertible top at the BMW Auto Museum in Munich. At the IBM booth at CeBIT in Hanover, IT professionals exchanged their expertise under the Topan VP6 lights. Our verdict: Topan VP6 – always a well-rounded solution.
