First designed in 1963, it would take another four years before Verner Panton would see his chair put into production by Vitra.However, due to technical restraints this first model was composed of a rigid polyurethane foam with a glossy lacquer, and it was not until 1999 that the Panton chair could be made to its original conception.Formed from a single piece of durable, dyed plastic with lustrous matt finish, this version of the Panton chair has the same curvature and cantilevered frame but is now available in an expanded range of colours.An emblem of experimental 1960s furniture, this comfortable and sturdy design has now been scaled down to make the perfect piece of furniture for a cool contemporary kid’s room.
