The Vitra Panton Chair, designed by Verner Panton, is one of the most recognizable icons in modern furniture design. Conceived in 1959 and developed for serial production in collaboration with Vitra in 1967, it became the first all-plastic chair manufactured in one piece with a cantilever design. Defined by its continuous sculptural silhouette, the Panton Chair transforms a functional seat into an expressive design object. Its flowing, anthropomorphic form follows the contours of the body, while its cantilever construction and slightly flexible material contribute to its distinctive seating comfort.After several stages of development, Vitra and Verner Panton created a polypropylene version that was launched in 1999. The contemporary chair is manufactured from dyed-through polypropylene with a matte finish. The material is 100% recyclable. Designed to work either individually or in groups, the Panton Chair brings a sculptural presence to dining rooms, kitchens, creative spaces, and contemporary interiors. Vitra also specifies the chair for temporary or seasonal outdoor use when the appropriate care instructions are followed. Winner of numerous international design awards and represented in the collections of prominent museums, the Vitra Panton Chair has become an icon of twentieth-century furniture design.
