Designed by Verner Pan­ton back in 1960, the Pan­ton Chair is a fur­ni­ture design clas­sic. Together with Vitra, he devel­oped a ver­sion that was ready for series pro­duc­tion by 1967.  The very first sin­gle mould all plas­tic chair,  the Pan­ton Chair has under­gone sev­eral pro­duc­tion phases since its mar­ket launch. Not until today has it been pos­si­ble to pro­duce it in line with Panton’s orig­i­nal idea – namely from tough plas­tic that is con­sis­tently dyed with a matt sur­face.  The chair is shaped to the human form and offers great sit­ting com­fort thanks to its can­tilever base and flex­i­ble mate­ri­als.  Its sculp­tural shape means that it looks good by itself or grouped together.

The Pan­ton Chair has won var­i­ous design prizes world-wide and graces the col­lec­tions of numer­ous renowned muse­ums. Its expres­sive shape makes it a true 20th-century design icon.
