Verner Panton

Verner Panton; (Copenhagen, February 13, 1926 - Basel, September 5, 1998) was a Danish designer. He studied architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, where he graduated in 1951. During these years he worked with Arne Jacobsen, although he soon started working alone. His architectural proposals are very innovative and in the early 1960s he designed some extremely original chairs, characterized by plastic materials and bright colours.Verner Panton was a forward-looking and innovative creator of the aesthetic and thinking revolution. Verner Panton's passion for bright colors and geometric patterns manifested itself in a wide range of products. His works are the exception confirming the rule, an exception to what, in the common mind and imagination, is labeled as Nordic design: the famous Less is more. His career as an industrial designer is characterized by an important date: 1960. The year in which he designed the series of Stacking chairs produced by injection moulding. This main project would later evolve into the S-Chair and then into the famous Panton Chair which would be produced by Vitra in 1967 and which remains, still  today, one of the most loved and well-known design pieces of all time.
