Non-Serial Model 275 S-Chair by Verner Panton in Bent Fineer, Denmark, 1956
Located in Hellouw, NL
This extraordinarily impressive chair was designed by Danish designer Verner Panton in 1956, only to see the light of day ten years later. The technology to put this chair into production was simply not sufficient at the time. Gerrit Rietveld had tried much earlier in 1932 to manufacture his Zig-Zag chair from one piece of Material. German author and expert on Panton's oeuvre, Mathias Remele, notes that the IDEA may have originated after Panton's collaboration with August Sommer. A German company specialized in curved laminated wood that produced its Barboy in 1963. The Thonet brothers finally took up the Challenge and produced two versions of this chair. Model 275 and 276 respectively with a round backrest. This specific chair is a non-serial production and has a marvellous provenance. It was used for the pavilion for wooden constructions at the 'Debau exhibition fair in Essen' in the sixties/seventies. The chair consists of fourteen layers of glued, bent and pressed rounded veneer...
