A Sculpture Chair - Panton Chair

Known for his use of creative forms and bold color, Verner Panton designed the Panton Chair in 1960. One of the earliest models is now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Nowadays the Panton Chair is regarded as a classic of modern designer furniture design. The original version of the chair is in rigid polyurethane foam with a glossy lacquer finish is marketed under the name Panton Chair Classic.

“I want to design furniture that grows up out of the floor,” said Verner Panton. “To turn the furniture into something organic. Which never has four legs.” Pushing materials to their limits was a passion of this Danish architect and designer, who always approached design challenges in unconventional ways. His cantilevered stacking chair (1960) was the first single-material and single-form chair to be made, and it’s been continually improved and updated by Vitra through three decades of development in plastics technology. As striking as a modern sculpture, the Panton Chair is crafted into a single piece of strong, flexible polypropylene that’s wonderfully durable and easy to clean. Suitable for residential and commercial use.

The Panton Chair is the first chair to be created from just one piece of material, using a single mold.
Characterized by its graceful curves, Assonhom's replica furniture collection of Panton Chair has a emphatically sculptural quality that can be used on its own as an occasional chair, or grouped with other modern classic pieces to create a cohesive, striking look. The chair’s overhung design creates a stunning contour, and its ability to stack with other chairs makes the Panton Chair easy to store when not in use.
