Shortly thereafter, Verpan was acquired and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Frandsen Group, which also owns Frandsen Lighting. The close and inspiring collaboration with the designer's widow, Marianne Panton, and her family led to the continuous expansion of Verpan's Verner Panton collection. In 2010, Verpan presented redesigned pieces based on Verner Panton's furniture designs for the first time at the Interieur trade fair in Kortrijk, Belgium.
