Verner Panton

On one of my girlies-date with my high-school friends, we visited the Verner Panton collection at the National Museum of Singapore.

It was an eye-opener.

Initially I thought, “Hey what a normal collection this is. They look like things we have seen before in artsy-fartsy deco stores.” That is till I read on the labels that these cool furniture were created in 1950s. What a dumb-ass I am.

Check out these retro-yet-futuristic-furniture that Panton created. (Click to enlarge).

Verner Panton is truly a visionary.

There after, my friends and I did some jumping outside the Big Cherry. Okay, I admit I instigated the crazy jumping act.

After a couple of shots, we decided we weren’t in sync, and decided to let the pro-in-jumping-shots take the photo.

We finally succeeded. =)

The Verner Panton gallery will be held till 12th July at the National Museum. I got in for free! Yay. Do check with the counter if you are eligible for their concessionary rates.
