&Tradition Flowerpot VP8 Wall Lamp | Verner Panton | 8 Colors

The Flowerpot VP8 Wall Lamp brings Verner Panton's most beloved design to the wall — and it fits there as naturally as if Panton had intended it from the start. The same iconic double-bowl silhouette that has graced pendant lights, table lamps, and floor lamps since 1968 is here reimagined as a wall-mounted fixture, each shade spun from a single piece of steel into Panton's signature form. Available in eight colorways spanning the full Flowerpot spectrum, the VP8 brings the Flowerpot's chromatic energy directly to your walls.

Wall lamps create a quality of light that ceiling fixtures cannot — lower, warmer, more directional, and far more intimate. The VP8's downward-facing shade provides a wide, focused wash of illumination that works beautifully as bedside reading light, hallway accent, or layered ambient lighting in a living room when paired with other sources. Because it sits close to the wall and extends only 9.1" in depth, it occupies minimal physical space while delivering maximum visual impact. Hang it alone as a sculptural accent, or use multiples to create a rhythm of color along a wall or staircase — the Flowerpot's appeal only multiplies with repetition.

The VP8's production process is the same as every Flowerpot in &Tradition's collection: each shade is spun from a single piece of steel using a process that gives the form its precise, seamless curvature. The lacquered finish is applied in an even, consistent layer that preserves the richness of each color across the lamp's entire surface. The CE, LVD, and RoHS certified construction meets the highest European safety and environmental standards. At $645 (or $955 for Chrome), the VP8 is a wall lamp that carries over 55 years of design history on its distinctively shaped shoulders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the VP8 hardwired or plug-in?
A: The VP8 comes with a fabric cord and can be used as a plug-in wall lamp. Hardwiring is also possible with professional installation.

Q: How does the VP8 differ from the VP1 and VP10 pendants?
A: The VP8 shares the same iconic Flowerpot double-bowl silhouette but is specifically designed for wall mounting, with a bracket that attaches directly to the wall. The VP1 and VP10 are ceiling pendants that hang from a cord.

Q: Why is the Chrome version more expensive?
A: Chrome plating is a more complex and labor-intensive finishing process than standard lacquering, producing a highly reflective, mirror-like surface that accounts for the price premium.

Q: Can I use the VP8 as a bedside reading lamp?
A: Yes — the VP8's downward illumination makes it ideal for bedside reading, and its wall-mounting saves valuable bedside table space.

Q: Is the bulb included?
A: No — the VP8 uses an E27 bulb (max 40W), sold separately. An LED E27 at 2700K is recommended for warm, energy-efficient light.

Q: Can multiple VP8s be used together?
A: Absolutely. Multiples of the VP8 in a single color or across complementary Flowerpot colorways create a beautiful, graphic rhythm along a hallway, staircase, or feature wall.
