- Louis Poulsen presented “Circle Dome Square” by Henrik Vibskov at 3daysofdesign
- The textile installation honors Verner Panton’s Panthella lamp
- It offered a contemplative, surreal space blending light, art and design.
At the 2025 edition of Copenhagen’s 3daysofdesign festival, Louis Poulsen unveiled “Circle Dome Square” — a vibrant, contemplative light installation by Danish designer and artist Henrik Vibskov. Placed just outside the brand’s showroom, the immersive structure pays homage to Verner Panton’s iconic Panthella lamp. The lamp was first introduced in 1971 and is celebrated for its timeless silhouette and luminous presence.
Known for his avant-garde approach to fashion and multidisciplinary art, Vibskov reimagines Panton’s legacy through a textile-based pavilion. Vibskov reinterprets Panton’s legacy through a textile-based installation that invites visitors to pause, reflect, and engage with light in a new way. He describes “Circle Dome Square” as a playful and somewhat visionary installation with a touch of surrealism. “The concept was to combine shapes and colors into a larger structure using my chosen material – textiles – to create a design reminiscent of old-school cameras, focusing on a single unit,” said Vibskov, in which he adds, ” This is a space you can enter, where you can hopefully relax, take a breath and enjoy your surroundings without too much disturbance from the outside world.”
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Henrik Vibskov, one of Denmark’s most innovative fashion designers and artists,” said Zorayda Perez Pedersen, Louis Poulsen’s SMO. She added that Vibskov has created a captivating installation that fuses designer lighting and art, paying tribute to Verner Panton and his most iconic lamp design, the Panthella.
