What is Panton in furniture?
1 Answer
In the world of furniture design, Panton likely refers to the name of a chair created by Vernon Panton or the Danish designer himself. It is easy to recognize the Panton chair by its curvy, flowing form. The iconic seat, which had been in development since at least 1960, debuted in Danish design magazine Mobilia in 1967 and then at the 1968 Cologne Furniture Fair. It was the first chair to be made from a single piece of molded plastic. His cantilevered S-chair models, made of molded plywood and manufactured by Gebrüder Thonet, were equally innovative. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of vintage Vernon Panton furniture.
