The Panton Chair is a design classic, created by Verner Panton in 1960. Working together with Vitra, he developed a version that was ready for production in 1967. It was the very first single mould all plastic chair.
The chair offers great sitting comfort thanks to its cantilever base, flexible materials and shape, which is shaped to the human form. Its sculptural shape means that it looks good by itself or grouped together and can be used both indoors and out.
Soon after its introduction, Verner Panton began to consider the idea of producing a child-size version of the chair together with Vitra. What was financially unfeasible over 35 years ago is now possible: Vitra introduces the Panton Junior, whose production is based on the original plans of Verner Panton. Identical to the regular model with regard to material and shape, the Panton Junior is approximately 25 percent smaller and available in seven different colours. This makes it an ideal chair for children in pre-school and primary grades.
The Panton Chair has won various design prizes world-wide and graces the collections of numerous renowned museums, its expressive shape makes it a true 20th-century design icon.
Verner Panton was one of the most influential designers of the 1960s and 70s. Born in Denmark but relocated to Switzerland in the early 1960s, he became known for his original and imaginative designs in the fields of furniture, lighting and textiles. Installations such as the legendary ’Visiona’ exhibition demonstrated Panton’s masterful use of colour, which is a hallmark of his work.
