Vitra Chairs Contemporary

The Panton Chair has always been a favourite of children. They not only like its bright, cheerful colours and smooth curves, but the fact that it is as much fun to play with as it is to sit on. Soon after its introduction, Verner Panton began to consider the idea of producing a child-size version of the chair together with Vitra. What was financially unfeasible over 35 years ago is now possible: Vitra introduces the Panton Junior, whose production is based on the original plans of Verner Panton. Identical to the regular model with regard to material and shape, the Panton Junior is approximately 25 percent smaller and available in seven different colours. This makes it an ideal chair for children in pre-school and primary grades.

    The Lobby Chair's structural principle makes it similar in terms of comfort to the Lounge Chair. It consists of three individual upholstered sections connected by means of aluminium side sections. The Lobby Chairs were originally designed for the lobby at the Rockefeller Center in New York, in subsequent years various versions were produced, but they all have one thing in common: outstanding comfort.

    Verner Panton first came to international fame with his Cone Chairs. These extra-vagant designs seemed to defy the laws of stability, and are considered the first examples of Panton’s work where he was typically experimental and witty – traits that were to become hallmarks of his work. In the case of Wire Cone Chair, the body of the chair is made of intertwined, spot-welded steel wire. The wire grid, left exposed causing its visual appearance to change with the light or angle, ensures that the armchair appears transparent, elegant and light. At the same time, the conical form is astonishingly precise. The two upholstery elements create a colour contrast in the midst of the silver-grey wire structure and continue Panton’s playful approach to basic geometric forms.
