Heart Cone Chair Chair
This is a chair. It was designed by Verner Panton and manufactured by Vitra AG. It is dated 1959. Its medium is steel, stainless steel, plastic, wool (upholstery). It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
The exaggerated shape of the Heart Cone chair’s back glances coyly toward traditional enveloping wing chairs, but its bright-red upholstery and playful form reveal a pop sensibility. Its curves and careful craftsmanship are emblematic of Danish mid-century design, while its bold spirit sets it definitively apart.
