As promised, find below my favourite examples of chairs inspired by Panton Chair.

First, the interior of St. Bartlomiej church in Chodovice (Czech Republic) designed by Maxim Velcovsky and Jakub Berdych from Qubus Studio (2006).

Although everyone who is keen on design can recognise the Panton Chair, not everyone knows its history. But fear not – it is just an essence of the information.

Danish designer, Verner Panton in 1960s and 1970s was known for his original and imaginative designs in the fields of furniture, lighting and textiles. The trademark of his works was colour. However, he was also enthusiastic about the design potential of plastic, a new material at the time. He spent many years on trying to make a comfortable, all-purpose plastic chair moulded in a single piece. The result was the first version of “S” shaped Panton Chair developed with Vitra and finally introduced to the public in 1967.

We still remain in the subject of sofas.

Do you prefer modern, funny and surprising furniture rather  then classic elegance? Do you care the future of Mother Earth? Do you like blowing? Well, I got something for you. Blow Sofa by Malafor is made from 100% recycled paper dunnage bags, a metal rack and rubber straps. And of course an air, which you would inflate.

It is hard to imagine a home without sofa, isn't it? At least one, at least small … and if you have more place to arrange you can “let your hair down” and equip with something more impressive. No matter how big your house or apartment is, you may consider one of Bibik sofas designed by Renata Kalarus for NOTI.
