Verner Panton
(1926 - 1998)

Panton is considered to be one of Denmark's most influential 20th-century furniture and interior designers. He created innovative and futuristic designs in a variety of available materials, especially plastics, and in vibrant colours. His style reflected that of the "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.

Verner Panton trained at a technical school in Odense as an architectural engineer and then at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. He worked in Arne Jacobsen's architectural office in the first two years if his career from 1950-52. In 1955 he opened his own Design Office. Near the end of the 1950s, his chair designs became more and more unconventional, with no legs or discernible back. Panton has been credited as 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, ifrst made in 1960.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Verner Panton experimented with designing entire environments: radical and psychedelic interiors that were an ensemble of his curved furniture, wall upholsterings, textiles and lighting.
