This “Fantasy Landscape” is psychedelic, man

Visiona 2.  Designed by Verner Panton.

In 1970, contemporary designer Verner Panton was commissioned to create this “Fantasy Landscape” environment aboard a rented pleasure boat.  His goal was “to promote various synthetics products in connection with home furnishings.”

The resulting room installation consisting of vibrant colours and organic forms is one of the principal highlights of Panton’s work. In terms of design history this installation is regarded as one of the major spatial designs of the second half of the twentieth century.

I really dig the entire vibe of Panton’s work.  The furniture, lighting, shapes, colors, and textures of the rooms are very psychedelic and modern.  When we finally discover how to live on other planets, I can totally picture homes and rooms taking inspiration from his work.
