Design classic: Panton Chair by Vitra
Designed by Verner Panton
The Panton Chair by Vitra is a true classic in the history of design furniture. It was already designed in 1959 by the famous designer Verner Panton. But it was only in 1967 that it was produced in series in cooperation with Vitra.
Since its introduction, it has been further developed several times and it was only in 1999 that it was produced in its current form: made of solid-coloured, hard-wearing plastic with a matt-gloss surface.
A special design chair
A form that fits the body is brought into harmony with the technology of a cantilever chair - that is the underlying idea for the Panton Chair. The combination with the slightly flexible material creates a design chair with special seating comfort.
The popular classic has been awarded with numerous design prizes worldwide and can be found in many collections of famous museums. Its special shape has made it an icon of 20th century design.
