Like a hidden narrative moment frozen in glazed tile, this mid-century modern panel by David Holleman invites reflection and discovery. At its core are two elegantly rendered sgraffito scenes: one portrays what appears to be a surgical tableau, while below, a psychological evaluation unfolds—both scenes etched with expressive clarity into dark tile surfaces. Above them arches a geometric motif, inscribed in delicate lines that add visual cadence and poetic restraint to the composition. Surrounding these central illustrations is a mosaic of rich, subtly varied tiles—metallic golds, vibrant glassy blues, deep reds, marbled slate, and warm terra-cotta tones coalesce into a chromatic frame of textured energy. The panel’s tactile luminosity and tonal depth transform it into not just art, but an object both visual and tactile in its presence. This piece embodies a rare merger of Holleman’s technical mastery, figurative ambition, and ceramic innovation—reminiscent of his larger commissions in public and institutional spaces, though here distilled into a meticulously intimate format. Holleman’s storied career includes over 50 mosaic tile murals...

Anchored in the bold optimism of late-1960s Scandinavian design, this framed textile panel features the iconic "Kurve" pattern by Verner Panton. Designed for Danish textile maker Mira X in 1969, pattern 47806 unfolds as a hypnotic, concentric wave—an orange rainbow of deep tangerine, terra cotta, and brick tones, subtly shifting in monochromatic harmony. Set within a sleek, polished metal frame, the textile is presented as both minimalist sculpture and graphic artwork. Its clean edges complement the geometric form, while its textured surface brings warmth and tactility. Measuring 36.25 inches square with a depth of 1.5 inches, the panel strikes a commanding balance—impactful in scale yet refined in its statement. The condition is exceptional: colors are vibrant and the textile surface shows no visible wear, presenting as a meticulous artifact of its era. With the framed piece ready to hang, it becomes an immediate focal point capable of energizing any space with its retro-modern charisma. This is more than decoration—it is emblematic of Verner Panton’s visionary ethos. His work blurred the lines between textiles, interior architecture, and visual art, crafting immersive environments saturated in color and form. The "Kurve" motif exemplifies that approach, bringing a geometric pulse that is both playful and disciplined. Among collectors of mid-century modern textiles, Panton panels remain rare and highly prized. Original framed examples of this iconic design are increasingly sought after, with their vibrant palettes and graphic precision positioning them as both collectible artifacts and fine art statements. This panel invites comparison to minimal abstraction and pop-inspired geometry—an emblematic accent for scaled gallery walls, dramatic entry foyers, or curated lounge environments. It offers both visual warmth and sculptural poise, serving as a timeless centerpiece for interiors that value playful geometry, vintage colorcraft, and design provenance. This listing is for the framed textile alone. The matching pillows, chair, end table and accessories are sold separately. Framed Mid-Century Modern Verner Panton Orange...
