The Iconic Panton Chair
It’s been a while since my last blog post about chairs. Many of today’s iconic contemporary furniture design are not always recent designs. In fact, they almost always aren’t! Take for example the Panton Chair, designed by Verner Panton in 1959. Verner Panton is one of Denmark’s most influential designers and has a knack for creating brightly coloured products made from plastic.
His most iconic work, the Panton Chair can be seen in many modern homes and even public places such as restaurants and hotels. I searched around and found that Inmod offered the best online deal- a set of 2 Panton chairs for USD$299. Click here to view more details on Inmod’s offering. IconicInteriors, a UK based site retails the Panton chair for £135!
These chairs are also available locally and thankfully, at more affordable prices too! Homelife, a local lifestyle furniture retail chain sells the chair, which they’ve renamed the Dulux chair, for RM399. I was at their Seputeh showroom and the salesman was unwilling to knock down the price at all.
The other place in which I know sells the Panton chair (and calls it that) is G.D.O. Their tag price for the chair is also RM399 but store manager, Frankie was willing to discount it up to RM349, hence cheaper by RM50.
