Each object that surrounds us has been the result of the imagination of its creator, not only to beautify a space, but to provide function and make the lives of the people who use it easier. Let’s see 10 iconic design chairs that every design lover should know.
1. Panton Chair
S-shaped plastic chair created by the Danish designer Verner Panton in the 1960s. The Panton Chair is a classic in the history of furniture design. It was the first chair to be manufactured completely out of plastic in one single piece.
His aim was to create a comfortable, sculptural and innovative chair made in one piece that could be used anywhere. After searching for a manufacturer for several years, Panton came into contact with Vitra in 1963. Together they developed the Panton Chair, which was first presented in 1967.
Due to its expressive and innovative form, this timeless piece is perfect to be used in contemporary spaces. The comfort of this chair results from the combination of a cantilever structure with an anthropomorphic shape and a slightly flexible material. Owning one of these pieces means having a masterpiece of the 20th century, an iconic piece that brings movement and beauty into the space as if it were a sculpture.
