wire cone chair Model 3D

wire cone chair Design Verner Panton, 1959. Polished nickel-plated steel wire, upholstery, stainless steel. Made in Germany by Vitra. "Most people spend their lives living in dreary, beige conformity, mortally afraid of using colors. The main purpose of my work is to provoke people into using their imagination and make their surroundings more exciting." -Verner Panton Verner Panton first came to international fame with his Cone Chairs. These extravagant designs seemed to defy stability, and are considered the first examples of Panton"s work in which he was typically experimental and witty - traits that were to become hallmarks of his work. In the case of Wire Cone Chair the body of the chair is made of intertwined, spot-welded steel wire. The wire grid is left exposed, causing its visual appearance to change with the angle of light, and ensures that the armchair appears transparent, elegant and light. At the dame time, the vivid conical form is astonishingly precise. The two upholstery elements create a color contrast in the midst of the silver-grey wire structure and continue Panton"s playful approach to basic geometric forms. 29.5" h | 25.5" w | 25.25" d
