Panton designed the first ever chair consisting of a single piece of plastic available in different colors, which was a major step forward in furniture design.

This made the chair lightweight but durable.

The chair is molded in a way that produces smooth, organic shapes with no visible joints, giving the impression of fluidity of form.

The S chair became Panton's best-known and most widely produced design.

The chair conforms to the natural posture of the body, providing comfortable seating despite its unusual design.


Panton created innovative and futuristic designs using multiple materials (especially plastics) and vibrant colors.

His style was firmly established in the 1960s, but regained popularity in the late 20th century.

The chair gained great recognition in the world of design and art.

The Panton Chair was one of the first chairs to combine aesthetics with modern manufacturing technologies.

Today, the chairs are part of the permanent collections of some of the world's most famous museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Design Museum in London, the German Historical Museum in Berlin and the Danish Museum of Art and Design in Copenhagen.

The chair dates back to the third production version, which was launched in the early 1970s and used a dyed-in-place plastic.

The Panton chair is an example of the perfect combination of form, function and technology that has not lost its appeal over the years.

Thanks to its unique appearance and innovation, it still remains one of the most recognizable and desirable pieces of furniture on the market.


The chairs are preserved in original condition with no damage, and have minor scratches and scuffs.
