Designed by Verner Panton, the Mira-X collection first debuted at the Cologne Furniture Fair where Panton was primarily showcasing the Visiona II exhibition for Bayer. The Mira-X collection was based on a radical and highly methodical concepts: (1) There were 8 pure colors: orange, bright red, dark red, aubergine, mauve, violet, blue and turquoise; (2) Each of the eight colours had eight shades of brightness; from 100% to 15% color saturation. (3) The five motifs of square, circle, stripe, chess board and curve were internally also divided into eight. (4) Each of these designs was created in three sizes which were in proportion to each other of one to three to nine. (5) The eight basic colors were either combined in a single design or a single color was divided into eight levels of brightness. The textile collection was screenprinted on cotton, stretched.
