In the mid-1960s, a chair revolutionized the furniture design: the Panton Chair. This first molded plastic chair by the Danish designer Verner Panton was also the first design developed by Vitra himself. The Panton Chair Classic consists of a solid plastic foam shell and is glossy lacquered in the colors black, white or red - in contrast to the Panton Chair, whose polypropylene shell is dyed and has a matt structured surface.
