Panton Chair
Code: 2602022Product detailed description
An absolute icon of seating furniture, the Panton Chair, produced by the prestigious Swiss company Vitra in 2012, based on a 1960 design by the Danish interior designer Verner Panton. This matt polypropylene version has been on the market since 1999. Panton's work broke away from the Nordic tradition of moderation and harmony with nature, instead embracing the extravagant aesthetics of the psychedelic 1960s. He completed his first professional apprenticeship with the renowned architect Arne Jacobsen.
The Panton Chair is the world's first self-supporting chair made from a single piece of plastic. Thanks to its sculptural quality, the chair looks great both as a standalone piece and when arranged with other dining chairs around a table. It is made from injection-moulded polypropylene thermoplastic with a matt white finish, a very durable material, making it suitable for outdoor use. Its shape mimics the human body, making it very comfortable. Despite its airy appearance, the construction is very stable. The chair has been cleaned, it is in very good original condition, showing only minor signs of wear and tear from regular use. There are only minor scuffs and scratches in places.
