Panton Chair Classic

Verner Panton was one of the most influential figures in the development of design during the 1960s and 1970s.‎ Along with his experimental approach to forms and colours, he was captivated by the potential of plastic, a novel material at the time.‎ His aim was to create a comfortable chair made in one piece that could be used anywhere.‎ After searching for a manufacturer for several years, Panton came into contact with Vitra in 1963.‎ Together they developed the Panton Chair, which was first presented in 1967.‎Serial production of the Panton Chair commenced in 1967.‎ It was hailed as a sensation and received numerous prizes.‎ One of the earliest models is now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.‎ Today the Panton Chair is regarded as a classic of modern furniture design.‎ The original version of the chair in rigid polyurethane foam with a glossy lacquer finish is marketed under the name Panton Chair Classic.‎Materials:- Shell: rigid polyurethane foam.‎- Surface: glossy lacquer finish.‎
