Verner Panton, 1958
Verner Panton originally designed the Cone Chair for a restaurant in Denmark. It takes its shape from the classic geometric figure for which it is named. The padded shell forms the back and armrests and, together with the soft seat cushion, creates an exceptionally comfortable armchair, which is mounted on an elegant brushed or powder-coated stainless steel swivel base.
Verner Panton was an influential figure in the development of design during the 1960s and ’70s. After moving to Switzerland in the early 1960s, the Danish designer became known for his inventive, novel ideas for furnishings, lighting and textiles. The masterful use of colour was a hallmark of his work.
