1980-1990 production.
Great example of a set of 4 authentic Panton chairs by Verner Panton for Herman Miller, originally traced back to Herman Miller office location in Toronto. Plastic (thermoplastic polystyrene) construction, with all labels present and intact.
The Panton Chair is a classic in the history of furniture design. 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.
The Panton chair was first fabricated of Baydur foam which would then be painted. The design was further modified with reinforcing ribs on the underside when the material was changed to coloured thermoplastic polystyrene.
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.
