Verner Panton designed the Barboy (1963) at a time when he was inspired by free, mobile rooms. The idea was that spontaneous conversations could take place without bumping into obstacles. It was from this spirit that the idea for the Barboy emerged: a mobile storage unit, which, apart from serving as a drinks cabinet in the living room, could also work as a practical little chest of drawers. Panton’s goal was to design an item of furniture, which, besides providing storage for bottles, glasses and other cocktail utensils, would also be perfect for use in a bedroom, hallway or office.
The Barboy consists of three oval-shaped drawers, which can be pulled out fully so the whole surface can be used.The Barboy is a typical example of Panton’s furniture, in which he combines a matt surface with a shiny chrome handle and wheels, investing the piece with an elegant contrast.
