&Tradition Flowerpot VP2 Pendant Light | Verner Panton | 7 Colors | Statement Scale

The Flowerpot VP2 Pendant Light is the largest and most commanding version of Verner Panton's 1968 icon — a pendant that operates at a scale where it stops being a lighting fixture and starts being an event. At Ø 13.78", the VP2's double-hemisphere silhouette — two opposing steel bowls, one facing up, one facing down — fills a room with both its visual weight and its warm, dual-directional light.

This is the pendant for the serious room. The open-plan living space. The design-forward dining room with a long table and a high ceiling. The foyer where you want guests to stop and notice. The VP2 is available in 7 handsome colorways including Matte Black, Matte White, Grey Beige, Stone Blue, and Vermillion Red — every one of them chosen with Panton's characteristic conviction that color is not decoration but structure.

Why It Enhances Your Space
Scale and color are the VP2's twin weapons. Hung centrally, it becomes the visual anchor that gives a large room its sense of intention — the object from which all other design decisions radiate. Its upward-facing bowl bounces soft ambient light across the ceiling; its downward-facing bowl delivers focused light onto the surface below. The result is a layered, restaurant-quality lighting atmosphere that makes every meal feel like an occasion. At $1,080, this is not an impulse buy — it is an investment in the quality of your daily life at home.

Why the Design & Quality Justify the Investment
Verner Panton's Flowerpot has been in continuous production since 1968 — a distinction earned by very few designs in the history of modern lighting. &Tradition manufactures the VP2 to the original specification, with powder-lacquered steel that is consistent in color, smooth in finish, and built to last decades. The scale of the VP2 creates a visual gravity that smaller pendants simply cannot generate. If you've been looking for the one object that defines your home's character, the VP2 is a serious candidate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the VP2 compare to the VP1?
A: The VP2 (Ø 13.78") is noticeably larger than the VP1 (Ø 9.45") and commands proportionally more visual presence. The VP2 suits open-plan spaces, large dining rooms, and double-height ceilings. The VP1 is more versatile for medium-sized rooms. Both provide the same characteristic dual-direction light.

Q: What room size works best for the VP2?
A: The VP2 is ideal for rooms of 200 sq ft and above, particularly open-plan living and dining spaces. Ceiling height of at least 9 feet allows the pendant to breathe properly and show its full proportions.

Q: Is the bulb included?
A: No — the VP2 uses an E26 bulb (max 25W), sold separately. A warm LED E26 at 2700K is recommended for the most flattering ambient glow.

Q: Can I use the VP2 with a dimmer?
A: Yes, when paired with a compatible dimmable LED E26 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch installed by a licensed electrician.

Q: Is it hardwired?
A: Yes — the VP2 is a hardwired ceiling pendant. Professional installation is recommended.
