Bernard Rancillac Furniture

French, b. 1931

Benard Rancillac was at a very early stage engaged with a critical re-appropriation of pop art’s figurative language. Abandoning informal and abstract painting in 1962, he became a pioneer of French figuration narrative, working from photographic images in magazines, advertisements, popular imagery and comic strips and reinterpreting them to highlight their political implications.

Vitra Verner Panton 'Panton Glow', 2018 Limited Edition, 1 of Only 333 Pcs Made
By Vitra, Verner Panton
Located in Utrecht, NL
Vitra 'Glow Panton chair', luminescent, white, limited edition 1 chair of only 333 pieces ever produced. Released and sold in June 2018 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the first presentation of the iconic 'Panton Chair' to the public. After years of intensive joint development by Verner Panton and Vitra, the Panton chair was finally ready for production in 1967 - as the first all-plastic cantilever chair manufactured in one piece. Made with a revolutionary production technique, the chair's unique sculptural design was first presented to the public at the imm Furniture Fair in Cologne in 1968. Soon the chair symbolized an entire era. The chair was a sensation and was awarded numerous prizes. Today one of the first copies is in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. 50 years after its launch, Vitra released two limited editions of this iconic classic in 2018: the 'Panton Chrome' and the 'Panton Glow' of the latter, we offer a copy here. Verner Panton over the course of his life showed a fervent interest in innovative technologies, techniques and materials. He worked with lighting, color and luminous elements in many of his futuristic interiors. Particularly for his legendary 1970 installation 'Visiona 2...
