With its colourful aesthetic and playful shape, the Vitra Panton Chair has always been a favourite of children. As such, very early on Verner Panton pursued the idea of producing a child’s version of the chair together with Vitra. Unchanged in terms of proportion and material it is around a quarter smaller than the regular model, Panton Junior is built just for them, offering a smaller form that can easily be picked up and moved around by smaller humans.
Available in a range of different colours, the chair is easy to maintain thanks to it’s employment of polypropylene, which also makes it easily transportable.
Verner Panton is one of the iconic designers of the last century. Panton rose to fame designing the ‘Panton Chair’ for Vitra. Panton’s designs continue to be hugely popular and are still a big influence today on designers and architects.
Verner Panton was a student of Architecture at the Royal Art Academy in Copenhagen. Amongst Panton’s major achievements in the design and architecture world, is the design of the interior for the Spiegel publishing house in Hamburg.
Panton’s designs are fantastically fun, colourful and contemporary and include the organic shapes of the Panton and Amoebe chairs right through to the ecliptic Flowerpot lamp collection.
