Verner Panton - Onion 1

The Onion motif, which Verner Panton added to his legendary Decor I collection for Mira-X in the mid-1970s, is undoubtedly one of his most impressive textile designs. It differs from the original patterns in the collection in several respects. While the previous Decor I fabrics - Circle, Square, Curve, Stripe, Chequerboard and Wave - were all based on clear, geometric shapes, the Onion motif, despite all its regularity, is characterized by a seemingly organic origin. Another difference was that Onion was only available in a single, generously sized scale and not in the usual three. A clever decision that effectively underlines the enormously strong dynamic and graphic spatial effect of this design. And finally, Panton also changed or supplemented the color scheme of Decor I specifically for the Onion. In addition to a multi-coloured variant that matched the colour spectrum of the original collection, the design was also available in beige, green and golden brown - possibly a concession to the changing colour perception and sensation of the 1970s.
