Conceived by Verner Panton in 1959, the chair was developed for serial production in collaboration with Vitra (1967). It was the first all-plastic chair made in one piece with a cantilever design. Since its introduction to the market, it has advanced through several production phases. Only since 1999 has it been possible to manufacture the chair in accordance with its original conception – out of durable, dyed-through plastic with a lustrous matt finish.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe comfort of this chair results from the combination of a cantilever structure with an anthropomorphic shape and a slightly flexible material. It can be used individually or in groups and is suited for indoor and outdoor environments. The Panton Chair has received numerous international design awards and is represented in the collections of many prominent museums. Due to its expressive form, it has become an icon of the twentieth century.","brand":"Idea House 3","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":47119155265831,"sku":"","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":47119155298599,"sku":"","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/0189\/1367\/files\/240325_WalkerArtCenter_SummerMagazine1108.jpg?v=1713932330"},{"product_id":"panton-chair-classic","title":"Panton Chair Classic","description":"Having conceived a design for an all-plastic chair made from one piece, it took Verner Panton several years to find a manufacturer.
