1970s “Panton Chairs” by Verner Panton, pair of 2

As the first cantilevered plastic chair in design history, the 'Panton Chair' by Verner Panton embodies the innovative spirit of the 1960s and 70s. This original set of 2 from the 1970s is made of moulded plastic and features the characteristic S-curve shape – a design that does without rear legs and yet combines stability with organic lightness. The strong orange colour emphasises the expressive character of the Space Age and refers to the pop culture of the time. Originally developed from glass fibre reinforced polyester, later models – like these – were made from polypropylene or ABS using the injection moulding process. First produced in series by Vitra (Europe) and Herman Miller (USA), the Panton Chair is now considered a symbol of futuristic design and radical form. Stackable, striking, functional – a classic that continues to fascinate.
