Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
I knew I had a photo of a yellow panton chair. I found it and it appears to be a yellow mini panton chair and not the best photo at that.
If you are a real chair lover you buy yourself a couple of nice mini chair. However, that can be a very costly hobby. If you check for instance Nova 68 who sell some mini Vitra Chairs, you’ll know what I mean: For a set of 5 you still pay $ 168.-….and then probably it’s a copy….
While we’re at the subject of gold, let me also share this little beauty – a mini version of a timeless classic, Panton chair, in, you guessed it, gold! Limited to only 500 pieces, the chair was made to celebrate the opening of the Panton Chair exhibition at the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery in 2009. The chair comes in a 1/6th scale to the original.
