Sleek, Slender…..and Sexy…

It was a love at a first sight…….Owh! He’s the only true love for me…! Even after so many people has been overwhelmed by his charming, for me he’s  still the best!

“The Panton Chair was brought into the world out of the mind of a Danish Designer, VERNER PANTON. In 1960s, the Panton Chair (or S chair known by some others) went into mass production. It was a huge hit, winning over the design community and indeed a few award along the way. One of the first chairs can now be found in the Museum of Modern Art in New York – a sign of its status as a classic of modern furniture design.”

The first time I met him,  I fell for his smart innovation, featuring a cantilevered plastic with sweeping smooth curves for contour fit. Sitting comfortably on him, it was truly a perfect engineered masterpiece!

“…..and developed the 1967 Panton Chair, the first cantilevered chair made from a single piece of plastic. Sleek, sexy and a technical first, the Panton was the chair of the era. A glossy red Panton featured in Nova magazine’s 1970 shoot in which a model demonstrated “How to undress in front of your husband”. (source from http://www.designmuseum.org/design/verner-panton)

He’s so flexible he fits anytime..anywhere..!  Not to mentioned his strong body made of plastic (or fiber glass for imitation ;-p) made him so durable…He can simply be used as a dining, study, lounge, visitor or even as a modern outdoor chair….U name it…

This chair has been a huge hit during it first appearance on the 60′s, and it became famous again over a remake on 1999..made it so ‘in’ during new millennium…But..even some people find this piece outdated (as in not a trend anymore) but to me, LOVE is never a trend, it’s a timeless beauty….So they’ll last forever….Just like mine….

My furniture hunting was finally over! Last weekend was exhausted…but worth it! As I’m really satisfied to found my dream Panton Chair…n that came with an irresistible bargain…I finally got to enjoy designer style living with an affordable price!

P/S: However, unfortunately it’s not time yet for Panton indulgence as the chair was made to order…in 3 weeks! But I promise to post about them once they at my dining place! ;-)
