The exhibition is a vibrant deluge of form and colour! I am so happy to have visited the museum at a time to see this fabulous exhibition and was reminded of the true extend of his imaginative work.

All photos are my own. ❤️🧡💙💜💚💛

As a graduate in architecture from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Verner Panton emerged from the legendary tradition of Danish furniture design and gained his first professional experience in the office of the renowned architect Arne Jacobsen. But he soon turned in a completely different artistic direction: from the late 1950s onwards, Panton developed radically new spatial concepts in which colour, textiles, and light played a central role. With swings and living towers, he used domestic space in playful and informal ways, while light, patterns and carefully applied colour scales helped him modulate the mood and character of his interiors.

The chronologically structured exhibition shows how systematically Verner Panton pursued his design
ideas. Already his early interiors of the 1950s were bold, colourful statements that broke out of Scandinavian design traditions.

The exhibits are embedded in a scenography that references Panton’s immersive spaces: a colourful ribbon runs through the entire Schaudepot, transporting visitors into a Panton-inspired world of chromatic colour scales.

All objects come from the Verner Panton Archive at the Vitra Design Museum which includes furniture, prototypes, experiments, models, as well as more than 40,000 documents, among them about 20,000 plans and drawings.

Drawing from this unique source, the exhibition presents works from all creative periods, thus offering a more differentiated view of the legendary designer oeuvre than before. For instance, Panton’s mostly unrealised architectural work is shown in detail for the first time, and the design process behind many of his projects is highlighted.

The exhibition was developed in close collaboration with the Verner Panton Design AG, holder of all rights in Verner Panton’s work.

top3 by design has been championing original design since 2001. We represent some of the world’s most respected furniture and accessories brands, from Scandinavian icons like Muuto and Vitra to the finest names in German craftsmanship. top3 is proud to be home to the German Masters Collective, an exclusive group of premier German design houses including Freifrau, Rolf Benz, Janua, Moeller Design and Draenert.

Our showrooms in Crows Nest and Melbourne are spaces where design is lived, not just sold. This role is based in our Sydney Showroom on the North Shore.
We believe in buying less and buying better. So do our clients.

The Role
We’re looking for an exceptional individual who brings genuine passion for original design to every client conversation. This is not a traditional retail role. You’ll work across both our retail and trade client base... guiding homeowners, architects, and interior designers through considered, often significant purchasing decisions, and contribute to the way top3 is experienced in-showroom.
A background in interior design is highly regarded. What matters most is that you understand the difference between a piece of furniture and a piece of design, and can communicate that distinction with warmth, knowledge, and conviction.

Role includes at least x1 weekend day. (A must)
Current proposed week is Sunday - Thursday (negotiable)

Art for rainy days.
The BLUNT Metro umbrella has had a very New Zealand glow-up, with a beautiful new collaboration by Auckland-based artist and designer, Flox.

Known for her vivid botanical artworks and native birdlife, Flox brings her unmistakable style to the compact, wind-tested BLUNT Metro, turning an everyday essential into something joyful, practical and seriously giftable. ( if you can part with it!)

Small enough to carry every day, strong enough for real weather, and beautiful enough to brighten even the greyest forecast.

Available now at top3 by design
In instagram’s wisdom I can’t tag the Flox 2026 metro umbrella - find it online at top3 by searching flox 🍃🍂

Freifrau - dressed in Gobelin Fabric 🖤

The term Gobelin was originally limited to fabrics made in the Manufacture des Gobelins in Paris, whose products had such intricate patterns and were woven with so much care that they were hung on walls as tapestries. Now, the Belgian company Meisterwerke has decided to revive this kind of material, bringing it up to date by including attention seeking details.

Oasis (roses) 🌹+ Eden (peacocks)🦚

Working with Meisterwerke from Belgium and a tattoo artist from its home town of Lemgo in Germany, Freifrau has developed a new Gobelin fabric; a fantasy scene (with a few contemporary details) functions to balance the heaviness of the material, representing not only an exotic fairy-tale from the animal kingdom, but also an opulent oasis in which many animals coexist peacefully. There is a message here, and a philosophy shared by many.

The motif chosen to be woven into Gobelin started life as a study for an oil painting by Christian Trzaska, that was commissioned by Art-Director Birgit Hoffmann and graphics team Bertermann-Winters.

Freifrau is part of the German Masters Collective at top3 by design.

All Moeller beds are made in Germany with exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.
When the bedroom becomes a retreat, the bed becomes so much more than a place to sleep. Moeller Design beds bring together comfort, proportion and quiet sculptural beauty. In this edit we focus on three beautifully resolved designs, Liv, Rose and Alva, each with its own distinct character, but all sharing the same sense of softness, calm and considered detail. These are beds designed to anchor the room, invite rest, and turn the bedroom into a space you truly love coming home to

“Beds function as a retreat, relaxation island and sometimes also as a workplace, and now even replace the sofa to a certain extent. The bed is becoming more of a living centre and partly takes over the functions of the sofa.” - Hoffmann Kahleyss

ROSE | features softly padded, adjustable backrests that let you sit upright for reading or recline for relaxation. Its concealed legs create a floating effect, while removable upholstery and covers make care effortless.

We currently have stock of both Australian Queen and King sizes available as “blanks,” ready to be customised. Select your preferred fabric or leather finish (swatches available in our Sydney and Melbourne Showrooms) and your Rose bed can be delivered within 4-6 weeks.

ALVA | celebrates the art of beautiful design. 
Discreet, sustainable and perfectly formed, this is how Hoffmann Kahleyss impresses us with their newest designs. A sleek and finely crafted wooden frame in oak or walnut and the softly upholstered cushions invite one to relax and unwind.

LIV | is beautifully calm, soft and refined. Made in Germany and designed by Hoffmann Kahleyss, Liv combines a solid oak frame with a thick, strong “sling” of leather that cradles the upholstered cushions to form the bedhead.

Practicality in motion. The Rul Trolley by Normann Copenhagen distils flexible storage and effortless mobility into one quietly considered design.

Created by Simon Legald, Rul takes its name from the Danish word for “roll” Smooth 360° wheels carry it effortlessly between rooms and uses: style it as a drinks trolley, bedside table, bathroom shelf, office companion or everyday storage solution. The understated design keeps the focus where it belongs… on what you put in it.

The frame is crafted from steel, its inherent strength allowing the proportions to stay lean and graphic without sacrificing structure. Both tray shelves are removable, adapting easily to changing needs, while the refined monochrome finish keeps the aesthetic clean and contemporary.

Load capacity: 10 kg per shelf.
