A piece of design history

  
The chair protagonist of today's post is an important piece in the history of international design: Panton Chair, designed by the Danish designer Verner Panton, is the result of a long research development in 1960 and in 1967 began series production for Vitra. Panton Chair has won numerous awards and one of the first models is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. 
Today the Panton Chair is considered a classic of modern furniture design and its success is due to the modernity of the material and its particular and elegant shape, designed to follow the anatomy of the body. Panton Chair is injection molded from a single piece of polypropylene and is suitable for all environments, from the living room to the kitchen, from the office to outdoors.

La sedia protagonista del post di oggi rappresenta un pezzo importante nella storia del design internazionale: Panton Chair, ideata dal designer danese Verner Panton, è il risultato di una lunga ricerca messa a punto nel 1960 e nel 1967 inizia la produzione in serie per Vitra.
