The Panton Chair is defined by a continuous cantilevered form produced as a single sculptural volume.

Its flowing profile eliminates the distinction between legs, seat and backrest, creating a chair whose structure and surface become one continuous element.

The design became an important symbol of experimentation with plastics, industrial production and the expressive possibilities of modern furniture.
