Verner Panton – Official

Heart Cone Chair

Year: 1958 - 1960
Serial production model

Series K (Kraemmerhusstole), Cone Chairs, consists of tables and seating

The first Cone Chair with red fabric upholstery was designed for the Kom-Igen restaurant and produced as a small series.
The chair consists of a cone-shaped metal frame which rotates at its base on a cross-shaped metal foot. The back of the cone and the cushion which is fitted into its opening are upholstered in cloth.

With this chair Panton turned convention on its head by inverting the cone, creating an effect which was both futuristic and novel.
