VERNER PANTON (Denmark, 1926 - 1998) for VITRA. Cone" chair, design 1959. Edition 2003. Satin stainless steel. Upholstered in orange fabric. Work referenced and reproduced in "Verner Panton, The collected works, Vitra design museum", p. 30-34. With publisher's label. Measurements: 81 x 58 x 56,5 cm. Originally designed for a Danish restaurant in 1958, the Cone Chair has the shape of a well-known geometric figure, the cone, to which it owes its name. With a swivel structure, it has a four-spoke stainless steel star base. It is a swivel base furniture characterized by its backrest and armrests facing upwards, thus offering an exceptionally comfortable seat. This is an iconic piece from the Space Age period. Verner Panton was one of the most influential Danish industrial designers of the late 20th century. He introduced the pop aesthetic into Scandinavian furniture. He attended the Odense Technical School and then studied architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Between 1950 and 1952 he worked in the architectural studio of Arne Jacobsen. In 1955 he opened his own architecture and design studio. He became famous with his furniture based on geometric forms manufactured by the company Plus-linje. Panton's spatial compositions are renowned for fusing floors, walls and ceilings, as well as furniture, lamps, fabrics and enamel or plastic panels to form a spatial unity that is as seamless as it is indivisible. The Visiona halls at the Cologne Furniture Fair (1968 and 1970), the offices of the Spiegel publishing house (1969) and the Varna restaurant in Aarhus (1970) are some of the most outstanding examples. The collaboration between Panton and Vitra began in the early 1960s. With this company he develops his best-known design: the Panton chair, made from a single piece of injection molded plastic, introduced in 1967. It is represented in the MOMA and major museums of decorative art and design.
