The 1960s provided the ideal breeding ground for innovative and experimental design. A profound change in lifestyle, heralding a departure from the traditional way of living and new materials and manufacturing processes inspired designers to come up with unconventional solutions. In this context, "living spaces" became one of the hot issues of 1960's design. One of the most prolific proponents of this movement was Verner Panton, who was continually striving to "look for and reveal new ideas and new ways of living". Following the maxim of "more comfort, increased eventfulness and more color" he developed many interesting and original ideas, one of which was his notion of "the conquest of air space" which he began as early as 1963 with his ceiling suspended Flying Chairs.

The Living Tower is a perfect manifestation of his idea that the three-dimensionality of space shoule be used to maximum effect. An amorphous two-part furniture-sculpture, the Living Tower can be used on four levels and excels in two areas: it is extremely comfortable and acts as a catalyst for communication. It is one of the most complete and well-developed projects among Panton's many experimental furniture designs.
