In addition to sexy, Panton chair has any other stories you don’t know. Today Lireeco will take you into it and let you appreciate the value behind its sexy.

The pinnacle of masters

Verner Panton

Panton Chair, also known as “beauty chair”, is known for its perfect curves and saturated colors. It was designed by the most influential Danish designer Verner Panton in , but due to the technical and material Limitations, most furniture manufacturers rejected this bold idea.

Panton Chair Manuscript

It was not until I met Vitra and insisted on continuous breakthroughs in craftsmanship and technology that the first Panton chairs came out in , and its debut attracted a huge response from the design community. Unfortunately, mass production was not possible at that time due to factors such as new materials, complex technology and high cost.

In addition to the Panton Classic Collector’s Edition, the current version uses polypropylene to make the Panton Chair through injection molding, which is extremely light, resistant to heavy pressure, 100% environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and resistant to UV. Most importantly, because the cost has been greatly reduced, everyone now has the opportunity to own this master’s classic work at a reasonable price.

Collection-level furniture art

The reason why the design of the Panton chair can be recorded in history is that in an era like the s, this chair overturned the previous four-leg structure for the first time, with an S-shaped side surface. , Like the hem of a long skirt, slender, sexy, elegant and moving.

Panton Chair

In the same way, the material is contrary to the old wooden tradition. The use of plastic materials that have just come out is undoubtedly a breakthrough in the history of design and has become one of the most outstanding creations in the history of human furniture.

The reason for becoming a classic, in addition to Panton’s advanced design, and Vitra’s unremitting pursuit of technology and materials, allowed this seemingly impossible structure to take shape. This beauty chair, which has been waiting for half a century from design to mass production, can not let people linger.

The Panton Chair Classic is a collector’s model, which uses a unique painting process to give it a more technologically beautiful and advanced texture.

If you are a furniture collector, Panton chair is definitely the first piece of furniture worth getting started. It is one of the earliest furniture art pieces in the permanent collection of MoMA (New York Museum of Modern Art). It can be said that there is a collection-level furniture in the home.

From the cover of the magazine to the living space

Since the Panton chair came out, it has been used as the cover of magazines for countless times, which seems to extend the distance between us and the Panton chair. However, Panton’s true original design intention is the opposite-everyone has the right to design.

In , Kate Moss appeared on the cover of “Vogue” in a Panton chair.

For example, its classic color scheme is white, so that Panton chair will not be too high-profile at home, but relying on its unique design and perfect lines, it can still get the most amazing eyes. With a large area of ​​log elements, it is a neat finishing touch in the space.

The low-saturation color matching also gives it a soft and delicate taste. Against the background of the soft light, the Panton chair seems to come from the countryside and nature, bringing the most natural and fresh breath.

Hai

My parents got two white panton chairs from the company they worked for. Thanks to old pictures of the family, i can see they have them already more than 25 years!

My question; When did they start to produce replica's??? Could these chairs be real? because there are no marks or stamps... But they are also made of polypropylene, like the panton classic. (havy material!)

thanks in advance

Panton Chair History
: Vitra and Herman Miller
Painted fiberglass
-: Vitra and Herman Miller
Painted polyurethane (heavy)
-: Herman Miller
-: Vitra
Dyed polystyrene (with molded ribs under the seat to keep it from cracking)
-: Horn GmbH
-Present: Vitra
Painted polyurethane (the Vitra models have Panton's signature molded into the base, so they can be differentiated from the original PU production; I don't know whether the Horn models also have the signature)
-Present: Vitra
Dyed polypropylene
If your chairs are 25+ years old, they're authentic; knockoffs have only recently been cost-effective to make.
If your chairs are painted, have no ribs under the seat, and have no signature, they're either 40-year-old polyurethane or (if Horn chairs don't have the signature) 21- to 28-year-old polyurethane.

Vintage Panton ID please
Great production history, thanks. Did you ever see an S chair with the raised marks: XX underneath the seat near the round injection nipple, ribs not only at the base but also extra Ones, longer, that are parallel to the edges of both sides at the lower back and follow through under the seat? (Hardly visable from the back view). Wondering what year this one is & where it was made. I've had it 20 years & bought if from someone in US who thought they had it 20 years.
Thank You!
Panton lover

I have one too
Dark brown dyed, heavy plastic, ribs (but not the same ribs as Herman Miller production), unmarked, undated. Looks like it has some age to it.
Been trying to figure this one out.

Its . . .
It's really difficult. Ive got a Panton Chair sat here. Very heavy at almost 6/7kgs (trying to weigh it on bathroom scales!?!). Painted gloss white. Total height 32". Seat height 17" Couple of pics below showing base of chair & a small section where paint has been chipped.

Looks like fiberglass
Any markings?

No markings . . .
Can't see any markings on it.
Ive measured the chair and the sizes match those given on the Vitra website.
Like I said, tried to weigh the chair on bathroom scales but it was proving to be difficult, but it is heavy.
I bought it approx 1 year ago and have been using it as an office chair. But it was not until I recently purchased two cheap "Panton" chairs made from ABS plastic that In noticed a significant difference in quality.

Weighing is difficult?
Stand on scale while holding chair. Stand on scale without chair. Subtract.

It is . . .
More than likely to be from here . . .

But who would the manufacturer be?

In that case
It's probably manufactured in China.

thanx for te fast response
Does anyone know how to renovate these chairs. Because there is little information on. or does the chair lose all its value when doing? As an architect student, I will certainly not sell them, but I want to know how much this is worth.
I have added pictures after the cleaning. ik looks like onley the primer stayed on. they are realy matt. I also pictures of what's left over from the "Herman miller collection" sticker

True color
The true color of the chairs is underneath the paint. I would suggest stripping the paint and refinishing.
