The Flowerpot pendant


I just recently purchased a vintage Flowerpot pendant from a woman on craigslist who was renovating her kitchen (pictured below). The Flowerpot pendant, designed by Verner Panton in the 1960's was named after the happy days of Flower Power. Mine doesn't have a date on it but it's probably from that time, it looks old. And the best part it was only $25.

I plan on hanging this light in my dinning room. First I need to remove the chain and I will update the chord with a new thicker white one.

If any one is interested I came across another Flowerpot pendant in yellow on Etsy for $60, mind you the price includes an updated chord.
