Back to 1920-1980 Design / Chairs & Stools


"Cone Chair" by Verner Panton, c. 1960 - set of 6

33h x 23 diameter

Upholstered in new dark slate blue leather with thin steel sheeting structure and steel base with angled runners. Designed in 1958, the first Cone Chair with red fabric upholstery was designed for the Komi-gen restaurant and produced by as a small series. The chair consists of a cone-shaped metal frame which rotates at its base on a cross-shaped metal foot. The back of the cone and the cushion which is fitted into its opening are upholstered. With this chair Panton turned convention on its head by inverting the cone, creating an effect which was both futuristic and novel.
