Description

Vitra’s Cone Chair is a playfully geometric design classic created by Verner Panton in 1958. As the name suggests, the lounge chair is built around a cone-shaped frame that rises on one side to form a curved backrest, offering soft, supportive comfort. Set on a swivel steel base, the Cone Chair’s expressive silhouette – reminiscent of an ice cream cone – is finished with high-quality wool upholstery.

Verner Panton originally designed the Cone Chair at his father’s request for the Kom Igen restaurant in Copenhagen. Tasked with creating the entire interior, Panton developed the striking conical lounge chair that has since become an icon of Danish design. The Cone Chair and the later Heart Cone Chair bring a bold, uplifting presence to interiors, whether in a living room, office, or public space.

Verner Panton

Verner Panton (1926-1998) is considered one of Denmark’s most influential furniture and interior designers in the 20th century. Panton’s works are represented in numerous museums worldwide, and he was awarded several prestigious design awards. He was a unique designer with a special sense of colour, shape, light function and space.

Panton was trained as an architectural engineer in Odense and after that he studied architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen, graduating in 1951. During his career, he created innovative and futuristic designs in a variety of materials, especially plastics, often using very vibrant colours. Panton also introduced a series of modern lamps with personalities unlike any of his Scandinavian contemporaries. The Panthella lamp, created in 1971, is one of the most famous luminaires by Panton.

Panton was also famous for his inspirational and colourful personality. “The main purpose of my work is to provoke people into using their imagination. Most people spend their lives living in dreary, grey-beige conformity, mortally afraid of using colours. By experimenting with lighting, colours, textiles and furniture and utilizing the latest technologies, I try to show new ways, to encourage people to use their imagination and make their surroundings more exciting,” Panton commented on his designs.
