Ten Chairs That Changed the Shape of Everyday Life
Panton Chair | Verner Panton, 1959–1967
The Panton Chair asks a deceptively simple question: can seat, back and base flow into one continuous piece? Verner Panton developed the idea through years of prototypes before the chair was presented with Vitra in 1967. Its S-shaped cantilever makes the structure itself feel like a gesture. The white chair pictured is the later polypropylene production version, not an early fibreglass prototype or the glossy polyurethane Panton Chair Classic; materials changed while the central idea endured.
