Marking the centenary of Verner Panton's birth, an iconic piece of avant-garde Scandinavian design is being reissued for the Karakter x Cassina collection, restoring the original complexity of the design. Transparency, industrial manufacturing, and pop colors characterize this striking lounge. Made from polished stainless steel mesh, the chair consists of a truncated cone base supporting a large hemispherical shell that cradles seven cushions.
Among the first projects by Danish designer Verner Panton, the Peacock Chair was born in 1959 as a piece intended to break away from traditional wooden craftsmanship. Using a lightweight, almost imperceptible steel wire mesh, Panton creates an armchair that is both essential and original, consisting of a truncated conical base and a shell with cushions.
When removed from the base, the shell can become a rocking chair. Playful and versatile, the Peacock Chair quickly became a symbol of experimentation and avant-garde design. Verner Panton's innovative vision is translated into a unique and radically contemporary architectural object whose futuristic soul is defined by transparency, industrial production, and the pop colors of the cushions.
