S Chair

"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 stracking 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.

Its designer, Verner Panton, had the idea in 1960, on a visit to a factory making safety helmets and buckets, according to the Design Museum. But it would be several years before he could find a manufacturer who was able to mass produce it. Made from a single piece of cantilevered plastic with no back legs, it was the first of its kind. 

The Panton Chair is the very first ever to be constructed from one continuous piece of material. Since its market launch, the Panton Chair has undergone several production phases. Not until today was it possible to produce it in line with Panton's original idea, namely from consistently dyed, tough plastic with a matt surface and an affordable price. The Panton Chair has won various design awards world-wide and graces the collections of numerous renowned museums. Its expressive shape makes it a true 20th-century design icon. 

Characterized by its graceful curves, Assonhom's Panton Chair replica furniture has a emphatically sculptural quality that can be used on its own as an occasional chair, or grouped with other modern classic designer furniture 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.
