Iconic Panton Chair: Timeless Design

The iconic Panton Chair, also known as the “S” Chair, is a reminder through the use of creative forms and bold colors. Its original version is made in rigid polyurethane foam with a glossy lacquer finish, marking the design world by being the first chair created with only one material, using a single mold.
