The Heart Cone Chair expands the idea of the Cone Chair with two large wings forming a heart-shaped silhouette.
The exaggerated backrest creates a sense of enclosure while giving the chair a strong visual presence.
Its combination of simple geometry and expressive form demonstrates Panton’s rejection of restrained Scandinavian furniture traditions.
