If you flick through any edition of Living etc. or Elle Decoration you will often find an image of the iconic Verner Panton chair in someone’s cool dining area or at a dressing table. A design classic from 1959 and originally made in fibreglass, the chair has been through a number of production phases since it’s original launch. Through a collaboration with Vitra, the Panton Chair was relaunched in 1999 and made from a ‘dyed through’ polypropylene which realised one of Panton’s original fundamental objectives: a plastic chair as an inexpensive industrial product.

The bright colours and smooth curves and lines of the Panton Chair have always been attractive to children plus it’s cool and funky and great to sit on! Verner Panton began to consider the idea of producing a child-size version of the chair together with Vitra. Of course, what was financially unfeasible over 39 years ago is now possible. With a seat height of 348mm, Vitra introduces the Panton Junior, whose production is based on the original plans of Verner Panton. Identical to the regular model with regard to material and shape, it’s about 25 percent smaller and available in 6 colours; lime, light blue, light pink, tangerine, clasic red and white. They’ll look great in any modern kids room or playroom and your off-spring will own their first piece of modern design.

RRP £112.70 inc VAT.
