Love is in the chair

Panton heart chair

 

Design Verner Panton, 1959
Shell with upholstery and seat cushion, brushed stainless steel base
Made in Germany by Vitra

“In the mid-1950's, Verner Panton converted a Volkswagen bus into a mobile studio and travelled across Europe. In 1958 he returned to Denmark full of unconventional ideas... one of which evolved into the iconic Heart Cone Chair. Defying gravity, the cone was both futuristic and shocking... so much so that when it was exhibited in a shop window in New York City police had to order its removal due to the traffic chaos its presence created. A comfortable club chair for everyday use, Vitra has faithfully re-issued this classic in close collaboration with the Panton estate. The Heart Cone Chair takes its name from its heart-shaped silhouette.”

 Price: $3,670.00 Store: Hive Dims: 35" h | 40.5" w | 24.5" d

It's so cool - I know that having it in teal would take away from the heart like appearance - but - I still think I would like it in teal!
