LOT 04006In one sweeping curve, Panton has accentuated the art of seating, which is ergonomically suited to anybody’s size and posture. The chair has been fitted with a frame of solid Nyatoh (Malaysian mahagony) and a PU foam cushion upholstered with high quality fabric. From poolside relaxation and bar lounging, to the kid's favourite computer gaming chair; the Relaxer chair is already re-claiming its former state as one of the most interesting icons of Verner Panton's design universe.
Verner Panton is often thought to be one of the most influential Danish designers of the 20th century. He contributed to the Pop Art movement in the 1960s with sleek styles representing the oft-cited “Space Age” feel of the decade. Born in 1926, and initially working as an artist in Odense, Panton studied architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Art before graduating in 1951. He then worked under a fellow Danish architect and furniture designer. He was greatly influenced by Jacobsen, assisting him with various designs, including the famous Ant Chair. Soon after, Verner Panton started his own design company and became known for his bold and boundary-pushing ideas such as a collapsible house in 1955 and the Cardboard House and the Plastic House in 1960
