Verner Panton
Verner Panton (13 February 1926 - 5 September 1998) is
considered one of Denmark's most influential 20th-century
furniture and interior designers. During his career, he
created innovative and futuristic designs in a variety of
materials, especially plastics, and in vibrant colors. His
style was very "1960s" but regained popularity at the end of
the 20th century; as of 2004, Panton's most well-known
furniture models are still in production (at Vitra, among
others)Panton was trained as an architectural engineer in
Odense; next, he studied architecture at the Royal Danish
Academy of Art (Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi) in
Copenhagen, graduating in 1951. During the first two years
of his career, 1950-1952, he worked at the architectural
practice of Arne Jacobsen, another Danish architect and
furniture designer. Panton turned out to be an "enfant
terrible" and he started his own design and architectural
office. He became well known for his innovative
architectural proposals, including a collapsible house
(1955), the Cardboard House and the Plastic House (1960).
Near the end of the 1950s, his chair designs became more and
more unconventional, with no legs or discernible back. In
1960 Panton was the designer of the very first single-form
injection-moulded plastic chair. the Stacking chair or S
chair, which would become his most famous and mass-produced
design.
