Having conceived a design for an all-plastic chair made from one piece, it took Verner Panton several years to find a manufacturer.

He first came into contact with Vitra in 1963 and together they developed the Panton Chair, which was presented in 1967.

It was hailed as a sensation and received numerous prizes.

The original version of the chair with a glossy lacquer finish is still marketed today under the name Panton Chair Classic.

Shell: rigid polyurethane foam.
Surface: glossy lacquer finish.
