Pair of Relaxer chairs by Verner Panton, Hothouse Design Exchange, rare.

Rocking chair model Relaxer, designed by Danish designer Verner Panton for Hothouse Design Exchange, a publishing house specializing in high-end furniture. The Relaxer is a rocking chair with a light wood structure and original leather cushions, in very good condition. This pair of iconic chairs was conceived by Verner Panton around 1970. The curved shape of the seat allows for the characteristic rocking motion of the model. Each chair is in good original condition. However, the wood structure shows some signs of wear related to use and time, visible in the photographs. The uniqueness of this pair lies in the fact that at the time, the Hothouse catalog simultaneously featured two major projects: Verner Panton's Relaxer rocking chair and the iconic executive desk designed in 1959 by designer Bodil Kjær, known for her appearances in the early James Bond films. Both models were produced and numbered in a limited series during the same period (the copies of this edition bear the years 2007 or 2008), and the manufacturer reportedly made an error during the pressing of the commemorative brushed aluminum plates. Instead of featuring Verner Panton's name under his own stylized red logo "HP, " the manufacturer engraved: HOTHOUSE DESIGN EXCHANGE / BODIL KJÆR. This error was not corrected across the entire series before its commercialization, resulting in many chairs leaving the factory with this unusual plate.
