Heart Cone Chair

Heart Cone Chair by Verner Panton for Vitra. GRP (glass fibre reinforced plastic laminate) body. Polyurethane foam-padded. Stainless steel cruciform base, satin finish. Plastic glides. One of the most famous designs series by Verner Panton is the Heart Cone Chair, a collection based on simple geometric shapes. The designer anticipated elements of Pop Art, while also emulating the elegance of Scandinavian Modernism in the execution of the bases. Its name by the expressive heart-shaped silhouette, while the extended wings of the backrest are reminiscent of Mickey Mouse ears, but can also be interpreted as a contemporary development of the classic wingback chair. The Heart Cone Chair designed in the late 1950s, the chair combines a comfortably upholstered seat with an understated, elegant base made of satin stainless steel.
