The Panton Chair is a classic in the history of furniture design. Conceived by Verner Panton in 1960, the chair was developed for serial production in collaboration with Vitra (1967). It was the first chair to be manufactured completely out of plastic in one single piece. Since its introduction to the market, it has advanced through several production phases. Only since 1999 has it been possible to produce the chair in accordance with its original conception – out of durable, dyed-through plastic with a lustrous matte finish.

The 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. Its expressive shape has made it an icon of the twentieth century.

During summer, the classic chair is available in the colour 'summer green'. This vibrant green hue blends harmoniously with the varied shades of green found in gardens or on balconies – but also provides a fresh accent in interior spaces. Whether indoors or outdoors: the Panton Chair in 'summer green' brings a summertime feeling to every home and creates an appealing contrast when combined with Panton Chairs in other colours. The Panton Chair in 'summer green' is available while stocks last at selected retailers.
