This original, exceptional, and rare chair 430 was designed by Verner Panton for Thonet and produced for a very short period in the 1960s. The result of a unique collaboration between two design legends, it combines Panton's sculptural modernism with Thonet's unparalleled craftsmanship. The chair features a tubular steel structure with elegantly balanced proportions, embodying Panton's vision of comfort and minimalism.
