Pair of vintage chairs by Verner Panton for Herman Miller, 1971s

This Panton chair was designed by Verner Panton for Herman Miller in 1971. It is made of plastic in the shape of an S. Panton designed the first ever one-piece chair made of plastic, available in different colors. The S-shaped chair has become Panton's best known and most frequently produced design. He created innovative and futuristic designs, using many materials (especially plastics) and bright colors. His style was very much in evidence in the 1960s, but regained popularity in the late 20th century. Pantone contributed to the development of elegant new styles reflecting the "space age" of the 1960s, which became known as Pop Art. Today, the chairs are in the permanent collections of the world's most famous museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Design Museum in London, the German Historical Museum in Berlin and the Danish Museum of Art and Design in Copenhagen. The chair comes from the third production version, which was launched in the early 1970s and used a coloured material dyed in the mass. It is preserved in its original condition, with no damage, minor scratches or abrasions.
