Because of technical progress in plastics processing, the Panton Chair has been through a number of production phases since its original launch. The last version of the chair authorized by Verner Panton was produced in collaboration with the designer at the end of the 1990s. This model realized one of Panton's fundamental objectives for the first time: a plastic chair as an inexpensive industrial product. Suitable for indoor/outdoor use.
Verner Panton was an inspirational and colorful personality. A unique person with a special sense of colours, shapes, light function and room.
Over the course of his career Verner Panton (1926-1998) introduced a series of modern lamps with personalities unlike any of his Scandinavian contemporaries.
With a remarkable faith in the unlimited possibilities of the form, he worked successfully to create a new set of theories about how lighting should work and how it should influence its surroundings.
Verner Panton in his own words:
"The main purpose of my work is to provoke people into using their imagination. Most people spend their lives living in dreary, grey-beige conformity, mortally afraid of usning colors. By experimenting with lighting, colors, textiles and furniture and utilizing the latest technologies, I try to show new ways, to encourage people to use their fantasy imagination and make their surroundings more exciting".
Building its business since 1950, Vitra has developed a wide range of furnishings for the office, home and public spaces in collaboration with progressive designers. The Panton Chair. Designed by Verner Panton in 1959.

Great Chair for the price!

As expected, high quality
These chairs are very comfortable. Indeed, the color is not black, as mentioned by others, however as we were adding one to our existing three chairs, we knew about it. Actually, the color match to the three old ones (older than ten years) is perfect, which tells that the color is not fading at all and kept at the same quality over years. The chairs are durable and fit to many table styles.

Beautiful, even better than I expected.
These have a very nice color (a lot of blue, and a fair amount of grey also), heft and are very comfortable to sit in for longer periods. Perfect for a 28"-29" tall dining table.

love this chair!
The Panton chair is a classic. Not only does it look great, it sits extremely comfortably as well. Well priced and beautifully designed. The "grey ice" color has a lot of blue in it, and is a lovely shade, easy to live with. I love this chair.

Great quality
The chairs are excellent quality and look fab. fyi, the color is "dark" not exactly black and the seat height is a tad low, so check measurements!

I gave this product 4 stars due to static.
Otherwise love this. I want to have more colors.

Iconic design, comfortable but wish I hadn't gotten it in orange
I bought the Panton chair as a desk chair and it's surprisingly comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. Of course the design is fantastic, but I have to say that I wish I had gotten any other color but orange, which I ordered sight unseen. It's just a somewhat cheap looking orange in my opinion... more of a traffic cone orange than whatever hue I had in my head. Being a fairly inexpensive chair, I didn't think it was worth the shipping cost to send back. I can't fault the chair itself but I would suggest you see the orange color in person before ordering it.
Herman Miller's 3D Intelligent back material is a seating technology designed for the SAYL™ Chair. The 3-dimensional mesh-like suspension material is stretched from the Y-Tower at the back of the chair just as cables are stretched from the towers of a suspension bridge. The tension is greater in the transition areas, from the thoracic to the lumbar regions and between the lumbar area and sacrum. "Hinge points" allow these areas to flex and support the healthy, forward rotation of the pelvis. At the same time, less tension in other parts of the back encourages a full range of seated movement.
Y-Tower
Y-Tower is the primary support structure of Herman Miller's SAYL™ Chair. The Y-Tower retains tension, replacing the traditional frame of task chairs. It works like the towers from which a bridge is suspended and combines with a 3D Intelligent suspension material to provide frameless back support that hugs the user's back from resting through reclining, forward leaning and twisting motions.
