Eames Style Chair
1950
Charles and Ray Eames
Mass production of previous models made from metal proved as too expensive. As a consequence of this, the company Zenith made an adaptation out of fiberglass. Later the first commercial sitting furniture family was created in collaboration with Herman Miller. First, the seat shell variations were sold with a choice of different frames. You could choose wooden legs, tubular steel legs, a wire frame with a four-star foot and one central chair leg or the ironic structural wire brace. There were also a stocking version and a rocking chair available.

VITRA – Verner Panton
This chair was designed by one of the most influential designers of the 1960s and ´70s – Verner Panton, born in Denmark. He became known for his original and imaginative designs in the fields of furniture, textiles and lighting. Creating a comfortable, all-purpose plastic chair moulded in a single piece was one of his ambitions. He had been looking for a manufacturer for a long time when he first had a contact with Vitra in 1963. The Panton Chair was then developed by Vitra and finally introduced to the public in 1967. This piece of furniture received numerous awards and one of the first models belongs to the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Panton chair is available with a lacquered finish in black, white or red.
