The Astoria Hotel & Restaurant by Verner Panton

Verner Panton's 1960 'total environment' experiment at The Astoria Hotel, Trondheim, Norway. Communal spaces for the building, such as the entry area, a day restaurant with wintergarten and an evening restaurant with dance floor, were designed by Panton. Walls, floors and ceilings were covered in Panton's Optical Art-inspired patterns in variations of the same colour. Fixtures and fittings included the Panton Cone Chair, the Panton Heart Chair and lighting designed by Topan. More photos after the jump
