Spiegel Panels

Spiegel Panels designed by Verner Panton in 1969, evolved from an earlier modular concept originally developed by Panton in 1965. Through pyramid-shaped geometry and rhythmic repetition, Panton explored how form could influence atmosphere, movement and the overall spatial experience. The concept later became part of the iconic interior for the Der Spiegel headquarters in Hamburg. Installed on ceilings or walls, the panels transform interior surfaces into expressive sculptural compositions that create depth, rhythm and visual movement. Spiegel Panels reflect Panton’s holistic vision of design, where colour, light, form and architecture interact to shape immersive environments. Crafted from advanced acoustic felt with a high recycled content, Spiegel Panels combine design heritage with contemporary functionality.
