The Astoria Hotel & Restaurant, Trondheim, Norway In 1960


The Astoria Hotel & Restaurant, Trondheim, Norway in 1960, designed by (The) Verner Panton.

The design of the Hotel and Restaurant Astoria included the entry area, the day restaurant with the wintergarten, an evening restaurant with dance floor as well as a self-service restaurant. Verner Panton used the textile design Geometry I to IV for floors, walls and ceilings in order to give the room a uniform image.

The chairs are various versions of the Panton Cone Chair and the Heart Cone Chair. The chairs grouped around the tables and the Topan lights work together to divide the large room into individual seating areas with an intimate note.

We think it’s a classic.
