This original set of two from the 1970s is made of molded plastic and features the characteristic S-curve shape – a design that does without rear legs yet combines stability with organic lightness. The bold orange color underscores the expressive character of the Space Age and references the pop culture of the era. Originally developed from glass-fiber-reinforced polyester, later models – like this one – were injection-molded from polypropylene or ABS. First put into series production by Vitra (Europe) and Herman Miller (USA), the Panton Chair is now considered a symbol of futuristic design and radical shaping. Stackable, eye-catching, functional – a classic that continues to fascinate today. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
