Heart Cone chair by Verner Panton

 

In 1959, a few years before the explosion of pop art, Verner Panton introduced the Heart Cone chair, a variant of his previous Cone chair. Can you imagine that when the chair was exhibited in a shop window, in New York City, police had to order to remove it because of the chaotic traffic the futuristic, shocking chair created?!  The world of design has changed dramatically since then. Vitra has re-issued this iconic piece in collaboration with the Panton estate.

 

"Most people spend their lives living in dreary, beige conformity, mortally afraid of using colors. The main purpose of my work is to provoke people into using their imagination and make their surroundings more exciting." -Verner Panton
