BALL TYPE H

by Verner Panton, 1969/70

At the end of the 1960s, the whole world was on the move. And it was very, very colorful. Society was expanding its consciousness and 400,000 people, representing an entire generation, celebrated its climax at the Woodstock Music Festival in August 1969. In the same year, Verner Panton created the Ball pendant lamp series, with the Ball Type F and the Ball Type H. The Ball Type F pendant light in particular, with its red and orange ball, is the luminaire that became the manifestation of the hippie movement.

Ball TYPE H

Spherical lamps such as the Ball Type H are based on Verner Panton's Fun lamp designs from 1964. Once produced in shades of blue and red, multi-faceted light sculptures were created from spheres of different sizes. Verner Panton loved the strongly sculptural character of Ball pendant lights and used them in a number of projects. At the Visona 2 exhibition at the 1970 Cologne Furniture Fair, the Ball lights lamps enhanced the effect of Panton's Phantasy Landscape installation. In the Varna Palais, a restaurant in Aahaus, Denmark, the Ball lamps specifically increased the comfort in both the restaurant and the lounge area.

Today, the design interior specialist TAGWERC the Ball Type H in silver in both private homes and offices. The shiny silver balls create a special accent in dining areas, hallways and foyers. At the same time, the spheres reflect the surroundings and blend seamlessly into the ambience. A four-meter long, fabric-covered textile cable allows for flexible installation, even in high rooms. If required, Tagwerc can also supply the Ball Type H with a longer cable.

Of all the ball lamps that Verner Panton created in 1969, the Ball Tap H is the only one that has survived. The Ball pendant light fits wherever you want to place it. Each individual polypropylene plastic sphere bears the signature of its design master. One of the signs that guarantees original design.
