Le Corbusier Black

Verner Panton trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. In Copenhagen he initially worked in Arne Jacobsen's, who designed the Egg Chair architectural practice. Verner Panton established his own design office in 1955. Later with the Verner Panton chair, he is credited first with the design of the very first single-form injection-molded plastic chair -the Stacking chair designed in 1960. Verner Panton was also the first to create inflatable furniture. One of the highlights of Verner Panton 's career is the Fantasy Landscapes he created for Bayer in 1968 that have now achieved cult status. Verner Panton thought and created with the imaginary vision of a child, in bold colors and shapes - quite evident in the Panton chair. He died in 1998. Verner Panton stated "The main purpose of my work is to provoke people into using their imagination. Most people spend their lives housed in dreary, grey-beige conformity, mortally afraid of using colors." Verner Panton also said, "By experimenting with lighting, colors, textiles, and furniture, like the Verner Panton Chair and utilizing the latest technologies, I try to show new ways, to encourage people to use their fantasy and make their surroundings more exciting." The Verner Panton chair is still one of the most popular modern chairs today. The new polypropelene version of the panton chair is readily available. Verner Panton lives on in his vision thru items like the panton chair and other awesome designs.

But at this price one should not care, unless they want bragging rights to an artistic investment of dubious value. This chair is awesome! I really like it better than the picture on Amazon. Quite comfortable to sit in. I chose black to avoid showing dirt or scratches - you really need to consider how it will be used. Only time will tell how the injected molded material will wear over time, but at this price, it is easily replaced. There are different substances for injection molding, and unless you are an engineer or designer, we are at the mercy of the manufacturer. It all seems like "plastic", but I now know this not to be true. Some injected molded materials can withstand a 22 cal shell from 15 feet and only show a dent, BUT NO penetration or even crack. It would be interesting to know what compound is used, and its structural integrity over time and sittings. Despite all this, at this price, it is a nice look, very comfortable, and within my budget! Thanks for packaging it so well and the timely delivery. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. WOW By Kimberly Love the style...ADORE the price!

Nice chair, but it is not original By Matthew Ross For $75 and $425 off the purchase retail, I doubt this is the real thing. So be warned of quality issues for that much off.
